what do you guys think? wheels




i was thinking since they are lightweight it would give my 8 a bit more push. i can't really decide on gold or bronze but i think i want
19x9.5 +30 in the type c
or
18x9.5 +35 in the type f

or switch it. i think maybe 19 would be better but i have to think about tires as well. maybe 18's but i can't really decide on the wheel. type c or type f?

opinions.

They are both pretty nice wheels, What color is your 8? 19's look nice, but will be harder to find tires for, and more expensive. The 18's will be lighter, and still look good.

Those low offsets are going to give you big trouble w/those widths in either size, the 19" diam is going to slow you down, not speed you up, and the low profile tires you'll need for the 19s are going to beat you up. Otherwise they'll both look good, but I'd go with #1, #2 is just to ordinary.

What color is ur 8? What size tires you runnin? Must be damn big if ur gettin 9.5's. 9 would be max width i would ever go, no need to go bigger than 18. Personally, i dont like all the freakin writing on the C's. Kind of takes away from rest of the car, look a lil too "rally" but still are sweet. I like the F's better, they also look badass while the car is moving.

And especially NOT #2 if the wheels come with the graphics and are not removeable.

red 8. thanks for the advice everyone. type f when they get the offset available in 18's i haven't figured out tire size yet probably gonna use one of those tire/wheel calculators.

what can i do besides boost to make up for larger wheel width? i mean, simple mods? intake, exhaust, electronics? suggestions?
