Default I really need help, so tired..

Hi.. umm well.. all i gotta say is.. im tired of looking around and making new decisions for each rim I see... so if someone can take some time and help me out.. I would really appreciate it.

What I want is.. about 18inch rims.. most likely 5-6 spoke rims.. i want a lip I guess you can call it on the back set of rims.. and i need to know the dimensions.. and what are some good cheap tires.. but really are awesome.. for I guess "racing/drift/and like handling sharp corners" .. and what are good sites where you got you're rims.. that have like wheel / tire deals..

sorry.. but my mind is so jumbled right now.. and im flippin out!

thanks

That is part of the joy...beating the brains on what you want to put on your car.

1. Budget, give us some numbers and I'm sure we'll be happy to help you spend.
2. Check the galleries here.
3. The sponsors here are easy to look-up wheel/tire info.
4. The wheel classifieds here...keep looking long enough and you'll find something.

Thumbs up

I suggest you take a look at this link. It will teach you everything you need to know about wheels and tires, which in turn will help you make an educated decision when you purchase your wheel/tire combo.

Good luck in getting "cheap but awesome tires". There is no such thing. You get what you pay for. Same goes for wheels.

Goodluck..... Most people here spend atleast 2000 for their setup..... if you want some fat lip action be prepared to spend more than that. For $1500 total I dont suggest you go drifting in those wheels. If you need to ask though dont think you would drift much anyways


On the brighter side of things..... for about $1000 you can get some really nice tires.
