aftermarket rims are not all bad.

i got to admit i prefer the look of my 15" lattis rims on my car but tire availabilty for 15's sucks.


the trade off between being able to run a proper summer performance tire vrs the look with the stock rims is worth it. i threw my old tires back on for a day and after being used to the stickier tires felt like i was driving on ball bearings. breaking the back tires loose rolling at 40-50 mph stabbing the throttle may be fun at times but not very practical. corning and breaking performance is also much better.




i looked for a long time to find aftermarket rims i thought suited the car and even then it took me a while to get used to the look.

i plan to keep my factory rims though and mount a drag racing tire set up on them. i didn't want to run drag racing tires on the street though for a number of reasons.

I sent an earlier message to say I would like to buy your 16" wheels and tires. Are they still available and at what cost? Any idea how to ship them to Austin? Thanks
