Genvibers! Help me!

Post by smeadows7 »

Hey guys I've been going back and forth in my head for a few weeks now on what I should do for new rims. I've had 18's on there and I love the way that they looked but wasn't so fond of the ride quality. I've been contemplating switching to 17's for comfort reasons and cost but I'm not sold on the way the 17's look, that 1 inch is killing me! If anyone has a nice setup with 17's please post some pics and help me justify this. Those that like the 18's maybe you can suggest a set of tires that help offset that rough ride? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not lowered, but at least its silver like yours. I measured them, and the surface is actually 18 inches in diameter.

Here' s mine. G line 817 black with red stripe. Go to the "a spec wheels" web site or "g line". They have lots of hot styles all shapes and colors. Hope this helps.

I happened upon some beautiful 17's a few days ago, looking around RTX's website. The wheels are RTX Turbine, I think you can get them either orange/gold-ish, white, or black. Pic:
