The $3500 Question...please help

Okay, here is the deal. I purchased a $3500 "pimp your ride" package at a charity last night (for $2300). Will need new rubber for the summer, so figured couldn't go wrong. The dealership can order from anywhere. Figured I would do a rim and tire package, and leaning towards the Piaa Super Rozza's (I know you approve Colin). Do not want to drop, and don't mind staying with 18's (although will consider 19's as long as drop is not required). This is my initial thought..any toher suggestions? I don't mind paying a little extra is I need to.
Let the suggestions begin (my car is black 6MT with the brembos). Thanks in advance.

Super Rozza's are a nice rim!!!

How come you don't want to drop your car?

Check out www.Tires23.com for other choices( i think they are local...Ontario).

Good luck Ted

Looking for more replies guys, thanks so far. Would I not have to drop the car with 19's? I don't want to be overly aggressive.

The ideal is to keep the same overall rolling diamiter so if you get 19" rims go with a lower profile tire so in the end side by side 18" tires will have a 1" bigger side wall than 19"tiresthis will give you the same overall height so no drop would required either way. If they (Super rossas) come in hyperblack or Black chrome I would go with that in 19" for sure.

do the 19's. if you get the offsets right you won't rub even is you're dropped.

Go with 19" for sure. I have an 06 and it comes with stock 19"s. Its the right size. My suggestion is you go with a Volk rim even though they take FOREVER to get. I have GTVs on order but there are a lot of other nice options. Its the rim of choice for most Gs. If you dont believe me just search for 'volk' on this forum and you'll see. You need a 1" drop too otherwise the car looks too weak.

Best place to see all volk rim options is at www.mackinindustries.com in the motorsports division.

That would be a 1/2" bigger sidewall.

Looks nice but that car appears to have a drop. It looks like 350Z springs where the front has dropped slightly but not the rear.
