I am looking for new rims for my 240. i like the look of these



what would be a good size 15'', 16'', 17'' i like the look of smaller wheels and a little bit of a beefier tire. but i dont want it to look huge like stock wheels and tires. if i got a 15'' or a 16'' what tire size would look best. would smaller wheels make the wheel well look too big? I am building a autox car. any advice? thanks

buying tires is hard... Depends on the cars intentions, and how you drive. I will only get a max of 15K from my tires, and thats if I baby them. But I like a soft sticky z rated tires.

But a 240 or 245 40 17 would be nice, or if you dont mind tire bulge 255 40 17.

I order my tires from tires.com The customer feedback is nice, you know exactly what you buying. They have tires from $80 a piece to $260 a pop at those sizes.

That would be the infamous Weapon. Available in gunmetal and silver I believe.And as it turns out the A-Tech 2 is out in Europe and Australia. Only in 18" sizes.Check out http://www.japshop.co.uk You will be looking for Ultralite Wheels.
