Mine are 17 & 18 as well. Had new tires so couldn't see spending the money for 18 & 19 tires as well.

Good luck with your choice. Deep dish is the way to go though.

CCW's are the ONLY way to go Either that or blacked out wagon wheels I've actually thought about sending my wheels along with another set of Wagons and sending them in and having them dished and then have the lip polished on it. They would be one of a kind for sure

Are these the wheels you have? http://shop.jwmotoring.com/product.s...&categoryId=19

What size tires are you running? Stock Coupe by chance? I have new tires in the stock coupe 245-45-17 and 275-40-18. I'd hate to buy new tires but have been wondering if the deep dish are too wide for the stockers?

Yes, I got them from JW Motoring. Great person to deal with. Stock sizes should not be a problem with the 1 inch wider wheels. Had them on mine for a while. Now running the Z06 size tires though.
