I hear you on that. I might just go with some stock Lexus rims for now or something. I just came from the shop down the street and they said they'd take the 22's off my hand and give me a full set of 18's if I gave them the 22's and $650. They said they'd balance it and all. I'd prolly get the price lower than that, but the previous guy tore up those rims. They're bent up and whatnot and scratched.

@Sak: I'll check those out, those rims look decent IMO, but I don't know if I want to go w/ 19's. The guy from the shop I just came from said that the tires are more expensive than 18's or 20's? If that's the case I might just go w/ 18's, lmao.

Is it really that big of a difference between 18's and 19's? Seems like 1 inch less wouldn't be that big of a difference in look.

18's yes they are more expensive then.....20's i doubt but possible. odd size tires are always expensive.....my 17's were high back in the honda days too
