opinion???

ok my cuz just gave me his rh c2's (19x7.5 all around) for free, but the bad thing is i have to buy tires. now i want to color it any suggestions???

i just wanna use them until i save enough to buy my own set n if i do get the tires i can reuse them an go stretch when i do get new wheels.
or should i just still run the stockies? thanks

anything free is deals. since its not and agressive set dont paint it some rediculous color like purple or green. it wont pop as much. keep it simple with black/white/silver.

Hey....free wheels is always a good thing if youre on a budget, right?

Whats the offsets of those 19x7.5s....Im guessing somewhere between +30 to +45....along with buying new tires, you should seriously consider buying some wheel spacers to push it out a bit...otherwise, those wheels may look sunken in.

would 6 coats of clear coat be overkill or should i put more???
can a 235/35/19 tire fit on a 19x7.5 rim? how odd will it be sticking out from the rim?
