    it really depends how much work you are willing to do plus how much money you are willing to spend

    few examples:

    Those both seem like unnecessarily wide rims for the tire size. Is there any advantage to stretching 225s over a 9" wheels as opposed to an 8" wheel, or is it just cosmetic?

    been on there for a while now!

    not really trying to sell but if someone wants it then it would make my life little easier right now with the economy being how it is.

    saw a picture of them when I was at Discount Tire. He says he can get them for 30% less than what you would expect.

    Example...04 BBS's were $779 each...he said $525.

    I think the blue wagon is 18 x 9.5 with +38 offset. That is the biggest concave Grids SubyDude is selling as of now. I'm thinking of getting them myself but at the same time that's money that can make my 2.5L swap a closer reality.
