Wheel options

Well I am thinking of going with a different look and have been getting some interest from people wanting to buy my Aero's. The problem is I have no idea what wheel I want. I know I want to stick to a 19" (which from my limited search rules out Vossens) and keeping a deep dish is a must. I usually prefer a 5 spoke design but up for suggestions. More than likely I will buy used as I am looking for a wheel/tire combo that will be less than $2500

Suggestions?




edit: for those that don't know...this is how the car sits today (i know i REALLY need a new grille)

You could go with the west coast favorite and get volks or something like that.

Why would you want to stay with 19's? If your in the market for wheels?

19s is not bad.. But it all depends on what you want to do with it. I like 19's myself but the 20's i have now... I fell in love with. However, my ride comfort is now gone. I think these would look sick on your car...

HRE Competition Series


HRE 790R


Volk T37's are one of my favorites also..

you are from around here...you know how ****ty the roads are plus I feel as though I can somewhat get away without lowering it on 19s where as 20's I think I would have no option but to lower it

My buddy has been trying to convince me for the last year to get time attacked te37's (which i do like) but I have been hesitant only because I see them so much already



Thanks for the suggestions guys....keep me coming!

keep in mind, tires for 19's are gonna prolly be more than for 20's as 20's are a more common size, thus more availability...I went with staggered 20's and i like how it came out...

I've got a pretty decent connection with tires so I'm not too worried about that and to me it would probably cost more for the suspension work than the difference in tire price. I would love a 19/20 combo which isn't out of the question but I just worry with the ****tyness of the roads I travel
