Wheels and Tires
So I have decided I want to get new tires and wheels because my car still does not handle as well as I would want it to. I have considered getting H&R sport springs which should help, but I feel like if I get wider and better performance tires it should do the trick. I want to get 18" rims with a 235/40/18 Front and 265/40/18 Back tire setup. What do you guys think? Too wide, not to wide, just right? Also if u guys know some good looking rims post them up. Thanx for your input.

You will not have a problem with those tires, rims are like buying a pair of shoes and you have to look until you find the right ones.

I want some cheap decent looking rims... the only reason I want rims is because mine are 17" and I would need 18" rims to get those size tires on.

BBS Replica wheels usually cost around $1,000-1,300



If you have Iridium Silver gunmetal wheels would look great...

Those look like VMR V710s to me. HRE P40 (M40 for MBs) reps.

I want to get cheap rims and I am mainly doing this so my handling increases dramatically. My budget is around 1500-2000 and im not sure if it is even worth it if my car is a lease. Also will this slow down my car and by how much?

you can always sell the rims later on, but doesn't matter what mod it is you will take a hit in depreciation. wheels are things that loose their value the fastest. I'm selling my BBS RE for like 30% off of the original price. LOL
