srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey, just need a quick opinion. I will be after a set of new alloys quite soon but im not into big bling bling multispoke things im more a fan of JDM drift/lightweight style wheels. I have seen a set of Zito's I quite like Problem is the ones on the pic are 19", I've just forked out the best part of £500 for new falkens and I am wandering if I would be better off getting the 18" ones and swapping the tyres across. I don't think it would be too bad as im lowered. So do I: a. Stick with 18" and swap my new tyres over, sell old alloys seperatly. b. Stop being a cheapskate, get 19" with tyres and sell my old alloys/tyres? Opinions? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 b!! Dont forget you'll be able to sell your old wheels for a bit towards them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLizard Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 also depends if the tyres you currently have will fit properly on the 18's you might buy, could potentially be wider... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 also depends if the tyres you currently have will fit properly on the 18's you might buy, could potentially be wider... +1 - need to know the dimensions, but most aftermarket 18s would be wider than stock. If they fit then its down to personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hmm the 19's in the pic are only running 255 on the rear so it would probably be ok..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1703 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 You've got plenty of cash so do what I did Ross ... get the 19s with new rubber and keep the 18s as winter wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
