Help me make a choice
Help me make a choice
Ok guys I need to opions and thoughts on what rims to get, or should I say what rims to get from my list. I am torn between them and would like if some of you guys could help me at least narrow down my options.
15x7.5 +0 gramlights (88mm lip)
These rims would be hella light and I could get falken st-615 tires for $74 not bad if I go threw them every 5-10k miles
17x9 and 18x10 gramlights (undisclosed good offsets
These would have the look I need while retaining 4lug so I am saving $300-500 but spending more. Only problem would be expensive to replace tires
17x9 +17and 18x9.5 +12 work emotions cheaper per wheel then the gramlights but I would need to go 5-lug so they end up around the same. Tires-same deal
Let me know what your thoguhts and feeling are about these and let me know any pros, cons I haven't thought about.

I like the te37 but would rather get ce28n's, I like them more and they are lighter, plus I think you can get 4 lug ones. Rather put the money into the rims instead of hubs. maybe ce28'n in 17x8.5 25+f 17x9.5+15R (they still make those in 4 lug?)
Work XSA 02C 17x9 0+f 18x10 -17r (fitment problems with widefenders or should I go lower in front?)

Yes I know if they don't make thoose in 4 lug anymore then im s.o.l. on that. And I am open to rim suggestions from offsets masta's such as levi, I love the concave te37's.
Like I said I would rather spend $2000 on rims then $1500 and $500 for a 5-lug conversion and I would rather get new rotors then redrill stock ones.
I will see what the prices fan out to be and get back to you guys, thanks forthe imput.

And your insistance on staying 4 lug will keep you SOL on a lot of nice wheels that you could just bolt on without having to order custom offsets
but whatever floats your boat

And maybe I want custom offsets :P
Ok so I have it down to either a 17x9 +27 F and 18x10 -31 R or 18x8.5 +0 F and 18x9.5 -12 R or possiably the 17x9 18x10 works but I'm leaning towards the gramlights.
