Angry Staggered rims? Can i do 19" NOt staggered?

Everywhere i go to look for rims the people tell me i have to buy deep dish rims or staggered rims for my 8! I do love the way the staggered rims look but i just cant afford 19 or 20 inch staggered rims all the nice looking ones are over $2200. I need to know if anyone has 19 or 20 inch rims that are not staggered and if they feel ok and look good! And does anyone know why everyone is telling me this?

Yes, you can get 19 non-staggered.. some people in the forum have 'em (mikeb has 19 non staggered setup w/ motegi DPK's).. it would really come down to your personal preference..

..plus you can rotate them! a luxury for some.. :p

Go to wheel sites online and browse around.. the look would come down to your preference--chrome, rivets, lip, etc... one thing to keep in mind is try to get the weight of the wheel... you don't want them to be too heavy.

here are a few sites to start you off...

I wonder what is the life expectancy rate would be for the tire without the rotations. My friend said to me.. "Well it's only going to be the rear part of your tires that will wear out faster.. since it's a rear wheel drive...so you'll only be changing 2 tires than 4 all at once." Hmmm....
