Default which wheels should i get im on a budget

Ok im about to buy some wheels but i had a couple of questions before i make this decision which you can see below keep in mind i wont be dropping my car very much because i have a step parking garage to park into.


my rim choices: stern st-1 or ruff racing 278 wheels
what size should i go with : 19 or 20 inch steam rollers
which offset would fit best: st-1 offset is: front=+20 rear=+25
ruff racing 278 offset is: front=+20 rear=+20
which color: black with chrome lip or silver
color of my car is: dark grey i think called silver stone
the reason for these choices:cheap they are only 945+ shipping i have lots of cars and bills can't afford anything else.

dont buy the 20's. Youll be kicking yourself every time you have to replace the tires and the rough ride wont help.

As for the offsets, what are the rim widths and how flush do you want them and how wide of tires do you want to run.

you also need to look into how much it is to wrap those in rubber, Wont be cheap and youll have to find a shop that will touch them and that wont be cheap either.

if you have silverstone, either color will work. Depends on how the rest of your car looks.

the rims width are:
front 19+8.5 rear19+9.5 this is for any of the rims i chose from both the ruff and stern and i want them pretty even with the fenders not to tucked.

As far as tires what would be the best fit for these dimensions

I have the 19 inch Stern ST-1's in gloss black. I love them, but I am switching to an 18 so I can run DR's. I am about to post mine for sale in the next couple days with the tires already on them.

There are a couple of ways to go but here's my advice:
Buy 19's
Tires: front 245/35/19 rear 275/35/19
Black or Anthracite looks cool on the silverstone...I like the Anthracite
Make sure that you ask for the correct size on the hubcentric rings & they should be included in the total price.
Deal with the dealer...you should be able to get the Stern's for $950.00 shipped.
I saw new Axis Hiro's on ebay real cheap for the Z...under $900.00 shipped.

Mine are like new. Wrapped in BFG KDW2's, with approx. 4400 miles on them. Probably sell them for 11-1200 or so. Here is a pic of them on my car:

Yep Let me take some better pictures for you, and also get a shipping quote, since I will have to add shipping. I am not out to rape anyone, I will give you a great deal shipped. I'll PM you my number so we can have a chat about it.
