Finally decided on wheels for the S55
My wife finally said I could pull the trigger and find some wheels after I informed her that my tires were bald. The rears are at 2/32. So instead of getting new tires for the stock 19s and than spend money for new wheels later, I'm gonna to it all now. It doesn't really snow here on the coast so I should be good to get them now.
I found some 3 pc wheels from audio city wheels that I think will look awesome. I tried looking up information on the company but didn't find too much except they've been around for over 20 years. I already talked to them, and they seem pretty nice and helpful on the phone. So I'm gonna go ahead and get them this Monday once we shift some money around.
They are going to take 2-3 weeks to build, but I'm not in a huge hurry. They will be 20x8.5 and 20x10. What do you guys think I should be using for tires? I've seen 255 35, and 275 30. Is there something that would work better? Maybe 285 30? The offsets should be built for the car since I gave them the specs.
If you want to see a pic of them for now they are on ebay and they have their own site...20" AC-313 Forged 3Pc Custom Staggered Wheels This is the heading on ebay.
