Default 19s or 20s???

I'm torn between 19s or 20s. I can't decide which one I should get? I want to spend between 2500 and 3500 for an entire package. I prefer chrome over alloy, but if the design is right, I would consider alloy. Is it possible that some of you fellas could help me make a desicion? Possibly suggest a wheel or particular design?

Thanks

19s or 20s really depend on what you feel about them. if they have normal tire setup, they have the same sidewall and ride is the same. if you get fat setup on the 19s then it's more comfortable

but for the price range you looking at, if you want quality stuff, i think you shoul dlook for them used

I would consider 19s with a staggered setup. I like both sizes. IMHO, I really cannot tell the difference from 19s and 20s. They look the same.

3500 isn't enough to grab a nice set of 19s? I thought 3500 was alot already for 19s.

Rominl, what would you suggest for my color of GS?

Thanks

When you said 'entire package' I think Henry (and I) assumed you meant wheels AND tires right? Assume you spend $125 - 150 per tire that's a chunk of money off the wheels.

I like some of the wheels our CL vendors have out there now.

Rays makes quality stuff, reasonable price on these

Not sure if this GB pricing is still open

And I've always liked the SSR stuff at the tire rack (GT-3 etc)

It would be nice to spend just 3500 for the entire package (tires/wheels), but as I've been reading thru the wheels forum, I rather spend the money once and not 4 times. If I have to spend say 2500 to 3000 just on the rims, then so be it. At least I won't have to worry about sub-par wheels being on my car.

I appreciate all the help fellas.

now if it's 3000 for rims i think you might be able to get something nice. talk to gs4will and gsxotic about it and see what they have. also talk to d2autosport and see what he can do. some stuff might be a bit over your price range but should be nice

also read in the vendor forum, some vendors are selling wheels now as well

oh and if you have 19s, honestly, you probably have to spend at lesat 200 bucks on each tire, so that's about 800 total at least

I can get you a set of wheels for your budget (wheels alone). Click on my web address link and let me know if you like any of the iFORGED styles.
