Help me figure out what to do with my wheelset! Sell? Keep? Swap?
Okay, I had originally tried to sell a set of 17" ROH blades in exc condition w/Yokhomoa Paradas for $700 all together in order to finance headers/cat back exhaust. Well, I am just about paid off for the exhaust/headers,and I still haven't sold the wheels. I have been using my stock ones since I put the ROH's up for sale about a month ago---the reason? Each stock wheel w/tire is 12 lbs lighter than each ROH wheel w/tire--which is about 50lbs of unsprung weight, a big difference for anyone who knows the physics of rotational mass-my car accelerated noticeably faster with the lighter rims--anyway, as light as my stock wheels are, they just don't look good in my opinion. So, should I a) keep the 17" ROH blades even though they are heavier but do handle better because of the better, higher performance tires, b) sell JUST the ROH Blade rims and get 17" X7" rims that will fit the YOKO tires c) sell the ROH rims/tires, and buy a set of 15" x 6.5" wheels that are light weight (around 13 lbs---btw, any good manufacturers? Konig Heliums are beautiful, but have 4X100, not 4X114.3 bolt patterns), and then use the tires I'm using on my stock 15 x 6.5" wheels on my new rims, until I have the money to upgrade to better tires for the 15 X 6.5" d) sell the ROH rims/tires, buy new rims, and have about $200 to spare for other car upgrades, or e) sell the ROH rims/tires, and buy NO new wheelset, and use the $700 for cams and short shifter, sway bars. Which brings me to my next point...do any companies make good, high performance tires for 15 X 6.5" rims? The reason I want to just get the rims is because I won't have enough money to get new rims/tires.Also---any lightweight, cheap, 17" rims, 4 x 114.3? Suggestions? Comments? And most importantly---where the hell should I sell my rims? No one wants them! already tried ebay, already tried this site, no one seems interested!Thanks in advance! Let me know what i should do!!!!!!!!
So many options! Well, wheels serve different purposes. People buy bigger ones for better looks, smaller ones for less weight, etc. It's up to you, for what you want to get out of them. I'd probably buy some light gunmetal 16's and put some good tires on them, so you get the best of both worlds.
