I thought you guys had leet rims already?
there are two reasons for me. 1) project: twins 2) one day i want to have two sets of wheels/tires (track tires & street tires). I guess i could do it on my stock wheels, which are lighter, but with the added torque of the LS1, I need more tire in the back than the stock wheel width can handle.
oh, and i am going to let you slide on the ford escort comment

Sorry. I hang out in the lounge...
Yeah that's why I got another set of the S5 rims. I wanted a real spare and a another set to use as track tires. Problem is... now that I have the rear strut bar in I can't get as many tires in the car hah! Guess I can just makes things a pain.

Nic, I looked at the cutoffs and put my info in the calculator...looks like I'll need to make 49s to make Tech this year, I just wonder how I did, haha. And I did a PT test today (kinda tested myself) and ran an 11:32, not as bad as last year but not as good as when I first got here, so I'm still shooting for higher. I didn't do pushups and situps cause I forgot what the time limit was, haha.

i do like a lot of meat in the back, but don't think i need more than 295mm hahahahahaha if i can get a 10inch wheel, that i like, i will, but don't think i will sweat it. These will be more like pimpin wheels than action wheels, anyways. That is why I think I will go to 19"
i would PM you these questions, BUT YOU WON'T CLEAN OUT YOUR INBOX!!!

As far as looking to big, it depends, it kinda goes both ways for me. sometimes I wish I had more wheel on my car, sometimes i think it might look silly. I guess I will decide when the time comes. Seems like all the wheels i like don't even come in 18, at least not in the widths i want.

By the way, Stina and David, the Illumina shocks are AWESOME.
