I went to the wheel shop to look at the available sizes for ultraleggeras since this are the ones I want. I'd like to get them in 19 inch but the rim widths are 9 and 10--not 8.5 and 9.5 option is offered.
I was thinking if I got 19x9 F and 19x10, would I have any problems fitting them?

Crap! 30 pages and only 1 or 2 pics of a phantom blue (Zane's). I realize it's a rare color. Trying to see what looks good so I can get some new wheels. What do you all think?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, but i'm broke, and i'm still happy with my bronze rotas. i want matte black wheels bad though. the blue stripe kinda kills it for me, but i guess i could have that painted.

Paul: lol - yah, i'm just messin' w/rev - he's running a slimmer tire than what's recommended for that size wheel but a good choice considering the specs.


and yah, i got the Piano Black finish. I felt that if i went with matte, it would have dulled my overall appearance. and yah, i don't drive a WB. SS all the way - curse n' all

btw, i went with a modest offset to facilitate more rubber under the fender.

275/35/18's. I was thinkin' about pushing it out to 285's just to see if i could tho. I think it'd be an optimal setup for those who are FI. Personally i just like the look

Too much rubber under the fender is like too much rubber under the woman; you sacrifice "feel" for protection..or something like that

Probably a better analogy is it just slows you down until you get in the "corners"
