Please show me some 21" tires that will fit and look good on a sedan that are cheaper than 19" or 20" tires.

You said , 21" inch tires are cheaper than 20" and 19"....

I agree there are some good low price tires in 21" but they are not lower price than 19, 20" in MOST cases. There may be a random case but show me 21's that are cheaper on average...

my point was that in my opinion tire cost isn't really a huge factor when deciding between 19-21"

and they dont have 255 35 19 in falken for direct comparison but they have 245-35-19 for 172.56

in many cases 21" are cheaper just cause they're such an oddball size. most places are probably trying to clear them out if they're not moving them

then what happens when they're gone?... he has to buy 20" or 19" wheels and start again

In looking around for this stuff I found that Kumho now makes a 375/20/21. Yes a 375/20!

My new goal is to fit those with a widebody.

true... its much more tolerated having him do something like that than some of the other goofy stuff going on these days... there are crazy wide wheels & tires and boy racer body kits - all going on practically stock performing sedans I'm certain other (more performance oriented) model cars are gonna start making fun of Gs... G35 (at least sedan) is becoming the new civic
