what wheels would I put on it?

18x10 +35mm Advan RG2s

with a 265 up front and a 285 in the rear.

EDIT: i'm not sure it that setup would fit or not, but that's what i'd make work

well if you're doing 19s and you don't want to hassle too much with fitment, i'd suggest running a

Work Meister S1 2P in 19x8.5 +40mm front and 19x9.5 +40mm rear

Siiiiiiiiiiiick. Nice suggestion. One of my favorite wheels bar none. This guy i know had some on his Lotus Esprit and they were sexy. What do those generally go for? $3k a set without tires? Or more...

the 19s are pretty damn expensive and I'm not sure if the +40mm variant is a custom offset or not.

you could do a nice big R or T disk for big brakes in the front and then run the O disk in the rear and get a decent sized lip.

Full Polished...ooh yummy.

you thinking of spending that kind of Coin on wheels?

the Meisters have different "disks" or Faces. the O disk has the most lip and least amount of brake clearance.

the R or T Disk have the least lip and the most brake clearance

No, i will wait till the snow season is over before i think about bringing it back up here. If we are in Alexandria the parking is free. I don't really need a car in DC though. The Metro takes you pretty much everywhere.
