after waiting what seems like forever, i finally got my wheels and tires :D
wheels: ro_ja r2-5, carbon black, 18x8 +47
tires: bfg g-force kdw2's, dimensions same as stock

 

Very nice Echo. That is close to the setup I want. Where did you purchase them and how much? I do think I will probably go 245/40 though but let us know what you think of the BFG's.

 

i found the wheels through importhookup.com they have a fairly good selection of wheels, from volks to buddyclub. call vick for a quote when you find something you like at 888-568-2746. i paid $1890, shipped, for the wheels, lugs, and center caps. it took about 6-7 days buy ups ground from socal to me in wa state. make sure someone is home to sign for it, though.

i agree that the 245/40's are probably the better way to go, however, this is my first major purchase for any auto, so i didn't want to mess anything up. good luck and post pics!

 

Very nice!

 

We have the same rims!

 

the pics of yor car definately influenced my decision. they looked good on yours, why not on black
