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?

white and whiter
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
