Try to look around in the tire and wheel section or simply go to media share where people show pics and give specs of the wheel/tire combo they are running. I would say go 19" offset low to mid 20s.

if you want a good looking set of wheels, 19x 9 or 9.5 front / 19x10.5 rears. I'd go with something along the lines of +15 front, +10 rear (my choice, some find that a little extreme)

I dont ride teenaged rims...

IMO...bigger rims look better than big old fat tires. My suspension only has TEIN 350Z springs and stock shocks so I dont have ride quality issues. Those who slam there cars need to offset the hard ride with more side wall, thus 18 and 19 are favorites with cars that are on the ground.

I like em big...20F and 21R for me... well until they got stolen. 2nd set to order soon.

Dont worry about the first set of rims too much, after you see other cars, your taste will soon change. Pics help, but seeing the car in person is what really lets you know how thing will turn out.

Good luck... As long as you buy a set of wheels from the FS section of the MidA and always tell them that you have Brembos... you will be just fine.


PEACE AND HAIR GREASE!
