The most indecisive man in the world finally bought some wheels

Some of you may remember I was Contemplating whether or not there was a perfect wheel in my price range. The answer is an astounding no. It's all about getting a good deal in your price range.

And did I get a good deal.

OZ crono, 18" x 8"

Goodyear eagle GT tires.

Wheels were $163 each from tirerack, they might be still available, i'm not sure.

They are light and look fantastic. Sorry about the crappy pics and weather, but they still look fantastic. Enjoy, I might get more pics and/or reflections when weather improves.

Look great. I have been looking for over a year so I am in the same league as you. I have been looking at the same wheels but am concerned about the centering rings since the wheels are not hub centric with our cars so I fear that I will get wheel vibrations at different speeds.

If you're thinking I need a drop, you're exactly right! That's probably what I am going to do next.

i had drop springs from eibach and they turned out well it was a nice clean drop all around and the ride was still good after! if i would do it again i would use coils though because your just able to adjust height and damper and in some cases pre-load, recoil, etc which is a little much for a DD!!! but track car its awesome! but a clean drop all around not too much so you dont tuck would look awesome!
good luck!!!

I agree that a drop would make the car look that much better (what car wouldn't?) but my main reason for asking was because an overall profile pic would give a good perspective of the complete look, does that make sense?
