I'm riding on this one (ha, a pun)

[cbcbd]

I have 33K on my stock Dunlops right now and with better weather coming I need to make some decisions.

I do really like the stock 2002 polished wheels look, albeit their weight, so that's not my problem.

1)But I feel that if I'm going to get new tires, for another $500 or so I could get some nice 17" wheels and tires to go with that.
I was thinking of getting some winter tires eventually anyway so it would be cool to have the stock wheels with some winter tires and just swap them in the winter and still look good.

2)But I could also just get some new tires for my stock 16" wheels and then get some steelies with winters later.


I guess it's just a money difference, but the reality is that I'm going to be getting new tires soon and if so why not enjoy some new wheels.(scratch)


I was looking at the Exel DL-46 as a possibility

Any other suggestions on some nice 5 spoke wheels and tires for a yellow P5 would be great too
(hmm)

I say save and buy tires first. Don't settle for those wheels, they're kinda cheap.

Before anyone mentions, I have been searching the forum for ideas, but sometimes it's just too much info to sift through.

Anyone have any suggestions for quality rims under $600?

 

[shackles10]

tires and rims for under $600 or just rims? go to tirerack. they're cheaper with shipping even than any local place i've found, plus you can see how they look on your car. it's www.tirerack.com, check it out

I meant just rims for under $600. I ain't that optimistic

 

[shackles10]

haha i was about to ask you pass the information along when you found out where to get both for that.

Get those wheels! A friend of mine just got them for his Eclipse and they look great! I think that the hyper black or the other darker version of those would look even better than just the silver.

But it is your car and money.

Try looking at www.tires.com also. They have some good deals there. Along with free shipping. (I got my rims from them)

BTW here is a pic of what they look like on a P5. http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/cars/mp5-dl46-hb-2.gif

Ummm... that does look very deliciously sweet. So many wheels to chose from. What do you guys think of these Rota Battles?

 

[smithers_0990]

NICE!

Even Better! Probablly much lighter.


I love them both

What do those Rota Battles run? Are they pricey, or no?
