It's time for new tires, what should I get? Rims too?

That's what I was thinking of getting, gun metal.

Yeah.. they don't make the Star Specs in 19". Looks like I'm either going to have to go with the Hankooks or get 18" F14s and the Star Specs. hmm, decisions decisions...

I'm thinking about going with the 18" F14s in Gun Metal. Does anyone have pics of the F14s in 18" on our cars?

What size and offsets should I get for the wheels and for the tires? Keep in mind I'm lowering the car 0.75", toe in, pin out.

Thanks!

i don't think this photo does them anywhere near enough justice.. if they were gun metal it'd look much better.








this one shows off the gun metal the best.

more gun metal goodness.




that color would be extremely attractive on an IB M Coupe

They look so nice in 19"! But I want the performance...

Any thoughts on offsets and sizes?

Scratch that. I was talking to my local shop and the Star Specs were going to be $1,000 out the door because shipping was $100 from the nearest warehouse in Missouri. They did, however, have PS2s in the size I wanted in stock. They offered them for $1,200 out the door with balance and full road hazard warranty and everything so I took it. PS2s should be installed on Tuesday

145/40/18 front
175/35/18 rear

As for the wheels, I'm going to get 18" Gunmetal F14s eventually, but for right now I'm thinking of spending that money on headers. In the words of Clarkson, "POWEERR!!"
