Hi everyone!

Well its time for me to get new tires for my 08 JSB. I am debating on whether to buy the stock tires, or buy new rims and wheels. I have a 6k budget. Any advice?

Thanks

Well, with that kind of a budget you can get some nice forged rims and your tires. You have lots of options available to you.

I got myself some CCW forged 505 wheels mounted with Z06 size tires( Pole Position) and put them on my car. They look great and dont stick outside the fenders. As far as I know CCW is the only company who has the proper offset to do this.Price was about 5K.
