Default 2nd Gens w/18's and up

Ok, so we've got a thread for the latest gen es's with 18's and 19's, but I'm looking for a good design for my '93 - anyone got 18's or larger on their 2nd gen (92-96)? Please post pics...

yah, but they don't tell what kind of wheel it is. There's also like 35 pages, and while i don't mind looking, most people don't mind showing off either

I'm just starting to get into this, but I'm gonna cap it at $1200(ish) for all 4 wheels and tires, unless thats either wholly unrealistic or there's a set of rims forged by Jesus himself for $1300...

for crappy 18in tires youre gonna spend like $500-600
for crappy 19in tires youre gonna spend like $600-700

that leaves like $500-700 left for wheels... youre gonna get a huge selection of cheap knockoff wheels in that price range

if i were you, save a lil bit more money and buy something worth your while

Racing Harts

$1,700 for everything to Guam... it should be less for you because you are in the states, so you can save on shipping.

okay, I just read that you are from Cali... So you can get some Racing Harts from TMEngineering, maybe you can get them picked up so no shipping charges? As for tires, you can find $73/each Kumho Ecsta 711's on tirerack.com.

That is a GREAT pic. Submit maybe to the photo contest? Juan those are 18s right. Sweet, C2s looks great on the ES.

Yeah, those Kumhos, well you get what you pay for. It does provide a cheap low pro tire. It is a lil noisy when it wears down and grip is not as good in the competition. I was impressed with wet traction a lot.
If your on a budget, it's very hard to beat.

I was on a budget, at $73 each, I couldn't resist! They are OK, there are no major highways on Guam, speed limit here is 45, so I don't notice the road noise too much.

And they are C4's... they look just like the C2's though.
