Default Wheels!

Hey guys ima have enough money to buy myself some rims pretty soon
My budget is probably somewhere around 800 MAX.

I just cant make up my mind on what i want lol. i keep browsing tirerack and other websites and just cant decide lol

What do you guys recommend?
and im thinking of doing 15's or 16's... yeah probably 15's haha
Probably black, or black wit a red lip? not sure yet. Any suggestions?
I was looking at some Rota Slips but not sure.

the car WILL BE LOWERED on lowering springs probably ends of june.


Any comments... suggestions.. ANYTHING.. lemee know!


P.S... Can anybody tell me how the whole offset thing works? thanks, not sure if i understand it right..lol

I love the whole Hellaflush look.. but sight... probably out of my budget lol

When I read this I imagined a super excited hyper kid spouting off everything he wanted for christmas

I for some reason have an obsession w/ Rota Slipstreams they are pretty sexy if you ask me look on ebay too

That's just my opinion!

offset is the distance from the back of the hub to the center of the wheel, in millimeters. A negative offset means the hub is closer to the back of the wheel than to the center. A positive offset means that the hub is closer to the face of the wheel than the center of the wheel. On our cars you will almost always be seeing a positive offset. The offset you need varies by wheel width.

discounttiredirect.com

great selection of Drag wheels, and really great deals on tires. I really like my new Falken 912's and I recommend them. They're also very inexpensive compared to other comparable tires. When you add to cart it will auto add extra BS like "installation kit" which is crappy lug nuts, and "certificates" which are basically road hazard protection plans. You can keep the stuff if you want it, but I really wouldn't recommend getting lug nuts from them, they are those long chrome Muteki lugs... which aren't that bad but are pretty ugly. I recommend buying lug nuts separately.

They have Drag DR-23's which are the same as Rota Slipstreams.
