Ive been trolling the boards for a while, and thought i would post.

I plan on getting some deep dish black bullet rims and repaint my front ones black. I just want to get 2 for the back, but my question is this, should i get 18's in the back and leave 17's in the front, or should i leave the back and front the same size because it will look weird or wear the tires more, or even have a negative effect on handling/drivability.

very nice car , how much for the paint job or is it a sticker

myth · 12-13-2004, 03:27 PM

Its paint, and it was sorta a sponsor thing, one of my friends started his own paint/custom shop. He used to work at modena, so his work is top notch, and most of the people who work there are also from modena, and I ran into some insurance money (someone hit and run my parked car in an empty lot. just minor bumper damage) But he fixed everything and did a flame job for a good price for me just so maybe i can get him more customers. He will be one of our sponsors on my new site www.houston-domestics.com when it goes live.

The 18s in back and 17s up front wont look tacky and "off" if thats what you are asking if you match tire size. Stock size is 245/45/17 on there so stick with 45s on the back with the same brand and you should be pretty good.

myth · 12-13-2004, 07:44 PM

yeah, im gonna keep them all 17, save me some money, but get 17x10.5 black bullets in the back, and the guy who did my paint job said he could sand and refinish my front wheels to match my back ones, for 50$ for both. Thats probably the route im gonna take, thanks for the info.

Love that color!!!!
The flames make it all the more better!!!
Nice ride dude!

I would go 18's all around myself. That is what I did, and I'm so glad I didn't go with 17's. I couldn't imagine going back to 17's.

Sexy booty!

I think the back is my favorite part of the car, when i told my paint guy to paint the tail lights and the middle strip black, i didnt think it would turn out so good. It was a good hunch. and thanks for all the comments
