So tire rack apparently has rims that fit our car now...
 
Just noticed it now....

I think there are six or so rims that tire rack is showing will fit our car (all 18s)

hmm looks like I'll be picking up a set of motegis and throwing some all seasons on em...and saving the OEM's for the summer....

Way to go tire rack! :)

Tire rack also seems to believe that our cars take a 225/35/18 Conti from the factory...

:thumbsdow

Good find! I like the OZ racing wheels myself. Now that I have all-seasons, I'll be sticking with the stockers for a bit longer.

too plain

See, the great thing about the O.Z's is that, not only are they functional as a light weight wheel, but they have a non-flashy design as compared to some of the other wheels listed for our cars.

Fake 2pc wheels detract from a wheels design, as well as 2 different colors. Everybody and their mothers have lips on their wheels, as well as a black finish too.

Contradicting, if I could find a set of BBS LM's in 5x110 with proper offest, then I would be fapping. These wheels can get away with a minor lip because they are a true 2pc wheels, and also a timeless design that has many phonies trying to copy.

Yeah, 18.5 lbs is pretty good for an 18" wheel! Price isn't bad for a lightweight wheel either. I like how they look more than any other option currently listed. Too bad I'm a cheap-o tightwad, so stockers for me!

ericgt79 11-16-2008 11:34 AM

damn your right it is 225/40 not 225/35

SUKXOST 11-16-2008 12:01 PM

Someone needs to contact tirerack and confirm if these wheels will fit over the brembo brakes. Also be sure to tell them they have the wrong tire size listed.

Personally, I like the factory wheelsa lot. However I love the black light wheels but 1400 for wheels only is too expensive for me.

JoeBMX 11-16-2008 07:45 PM

If that's too expensive, then don't change your wheels out for some gaudy cheap wheels.

I wasn't planning on it.....The TC is going to stay close to stock(eventually it will be lowered and a GM stage 1 tune).
I have a 1970 chevelle that I am restoring that car takes up most of my money and time.
For 1500 I can buy the wheels and tires that I want new.

Due to the pricing of these rims, I think as much as it pains me, I'll be throwing winter tires on my stock rims for this first winter at least. I'll just have to wash the rims/car a bit more frequently. Unfortunately we just got our first decent snowfall, and as such time has run out (and the funds are not available to spend $1.4k-$2k on a set of rims and tires.

Hopefully by next summer someone will have some nice steel rims that fit, or some dirt cheap rims that can serve no purpose but to hold winter tires :)
