Lightbulb Finally decided........kinda ;)

Ok so as the title eludes I finally decided....kinda...on some rims.

Just wanna get some opinions and clarification if possible.

Heres what I am looking at getting :http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=14390

Originally was going to get them in gunmetal but I found the pretty much same pattern in black and love it. The price is right too, I will probably wait a little bit and see if they go down any lower than they are once winter is rolling around but they probably wont. I wont be mounting these bad boys until spring since I live in Massachusetts.

So I guess my question is, what should I look for for tires? Honestly I am not a racer and don't need intense road huggers. I am more looking for tires that fit right. And from that site as well, unless theres a way better deal elsewhere. I know nothing of the tire sizes etc. I will be installing some kind of lowering springs the same time I am getting these mounted.

Can anyone let me know what to look for or possibly pick out some tires that are affordable? And let me know what you think those wheels will look like on my sexy black LS lol.

Check out Falken tires. Great prices and the ride is better then more expensive brands as well as the handleing and tire wear.

Got a link? And I am pretty sure I would rather get tires from their site only because it's cheap and theres free shipping.

And thanks for the good comments guys.

Anyone know anything about the nitrogen tire fill they are offering?

Haha thanks man, yeah I am in the same boat as you.

And can anyone tell me what size tires I should look for? I just want something that is going to look good and be functional without costing a ton of cash. Not to mention fit right.

dont do nitrogen, i dont want to say its a rip off but its really not needed. nitrogen is used, in a nut shell, to make it that you dont always have to fill your tires up. they stay at a constant and leak less then normal air, alot of local tire shops offer this but its just not worth it to me, maybe id do this for my mom or someone who doesnt always pay attention to there tires but i wouldnt on a performance car

Hmmmm that sounds almost worth it. Though I am sure if I cared more about my tires I would be better at keeping them perfect lol The stock ones though I just don't care. If it looks low I check it and put air in. I am terrible about it...I should probably do nitrogen. But then what happens when they do get low? Do I have to keep filling them with nitrogen after that?
