Yeah, I actually got a call from the guys at wheelsnext, and we decided to go with the 215's because of possible rubbing with the 225's so good heads up there. Im actually doing some research now on some coilovers for the ride. I was looking at the NEX SS since I can save a couple hundred over the Tein ss.

215's should be fine as long as the offset is not crazy like a 35 of somethin. 225's look better cause they come closer to the fender and are wider but 215 are what I have.

Oh yeah, dont go with the 40's. They will be taller than your stock wheel-tire set up. Go with 215-35-18's, 40's are just too tall and throw your speed off. Plus you wont be able to drop it at all cause you will be rubbing. I know from experience on my 18's. Whats the offsett on those wheels?

17's are really the best. Lets you have more tire that way. But I love the way my 18's look, I dont want to downsize, just my opinion.

Looks pretty good. I like the bronze color. Now all you need is to save up for your suspension. And nice headlights btw.

It IS kinda tough to see them out here since its getting dark. Yeah, Ill do that for you this weekend, if it stops raining. The bronze is dark enough in these to provide enough contrast so they dont look retarded. Really nice rim though, im impressed with them.

Thanks 360, I just need to black them out now, and theyll look even better. Suspension is definitely next on my list though. My shocks are almost cooked, so I wanna get a nice coilover setup. Just dont have the 700-1000 laying around after all the money I just dropped on other service/parts/wheels.

Glad to hear that you are looking for coilovers and not going the cheap route like me.

I just figure if im gonna have to replace my shocks anyway, I might as well save up a couple hundred more and just get the SS instead of doing it cheap and paying more in the long run.
