guys i have an 07 sc, so you know what my rims look like and i am sure some people here have had these issues. man i love this car but it can not take a damn bump! i live in an area where pot holes pop up everywhere. i have already hit one so hard it compressed my tire down and actually dug into my rim. before you throw in the dumb ass go around it next time, it was raining tremendously and it was filled with water, could not even see it. not b s ing either, lol. anyway what i was thinking since i now have one rim with a little rash on it is time to switch to the black rims i have been wanting. i was thinking i would downsize the rim to a 17. for a few reasons, most importantly to give the tire a little more sidewall, and two for some reason an inch on the tire seems to make the price go up a butt load, lol. anyone downsized there ss's 18s to 17's? shoot me some pics, if you got them

 

well you most likely already know, but the SS/NA's have so you could look at any of our cars to see how much sidewall there is

 

i have some ss/na 17's im not using i'd trade you for your wheels..

 

i bought 16 inch 10 spoke saab 9-3 aero rims i hate big rims on small cars

 

maybe if their original finish i sblack, lol

 

except the part where they dont come in anything besides polished

 

ill powder coat mine black and trade u straight up for ur 18's they are 3 months old and has some curb rash

 

dude were you just sitting there itching to correct someone, the lol i typed was to signify the only way i would trade for the stock 17s was if they were black, that being impossible means i would not trade for them. moving on. appreciate the offer but i really dotn want to trade rash for rash. i am just going to buy the 17s with new tires. i was just wondering if some people had done the same and had pics

 

let me know how it goes, im thinking on doing the same thing. Ill let you be the guinea pig though :-p

 

sure i dont mind. i am doing it regardless, i really dont like the 18s, they are pretty pointless. i mean sure they look good, they just dont fit for me.

 

tires are expensive for them and Ive got a homie that can hook me up with rims, so imma swap to some black 17s too. and then i think ill just lower it a little bit.

 

yeah i dont think i will lower, not around here anyway
