Default Just ordered new wheels and tires!

Hey guys I've been a member to this site for some time now but have never posted anything. I finally broke down yesterday and ordered myself some 19" Volks TE37 Bronze. The rears are 10.5 and the fronts are 9.5. I have a 2004 daytona blue, with custom 3" exhaust with Apexi N1's, short throw shifter and a pop charger.

Thanks guys. I've had my car since last mid summer and have been researching every day about wheels and tires. I know T1R aren't the best choice but I needed something fairly cheap for the time being. Trust me I know that's exactly what I'm gonna do every time I get out of the car. It sucks I live in Maine and we've been having snow left and right since October. I've been driving around in a 95 Toyota Sr5 with 215,000 miles on it. I just want to get out and do what I love to do most, drive my Z Modding a car is definitely 90% research and 10% modding.

Thats a nice fitment that allows you to run a variety of tires.

Okay! I thought so but just wanted make sure. At first I was gonna go with FiveAD S:5 wheels because of the price. But then I found out that they are cast iron and we all know that those are quite a bit heavier then Volks

So you're not lowered yet? I always have to lower first before getting wheels or anything else.

No! I live in Maine and the roads are the closest thing you can get to s#$t. When I do lower it, it won't be to much probably a inch at the most. I want more of a track car then anything.
