    Where is a good place to buy rims? Does brand matter? What should I be looking for when buying rims?

    I think this link is where Milo got his from?
    pretty much look in any import mag and search that way. Just make sure they aren't too heavy.

    Kauffman tire has very competitive pricing. I would look for something no heavier than 1lb/in

    Would you be interested in some Gold Prodrive P1's, 18" x 7.5"? I would like to sell mine and get something different.

    Will they fit properly? The reason I ask is that my car is lowered from 1.5-2 inches and I am kind of worried about putting 18s on my car.

    Do you have a picture of them on the car? How much is the car?

    i got mine from wheelsnext like mike said... i got them primarily for looks... they got awesome deals... i got 18s with tires (kumho 711) for 899 shipped

    now i dont race on the streets so sticky tires and light rims were not important... price and looks were more of a deciding factor... however, if u want good performance, spend the extra money and get some nice light rims...

    You should have no problems with your lowered suspension. As for price I will cut you a deal considering that the rear tires will need to be replaced sometime in the not so far off future, I would guess you could probably get another 2000 miles on the rears and another 6000 on the fronts if not more. Pics can be found
