Default Which Rims?

What would look best in your opinion on a 98 green sedan.
Rota 8's or 10's Im going bronze in color. Would 205/40 be the best size in tires to go with...Any recommendations as to where I should order them from.....?
Thanks

It's pretty much an either-or type of thing... you could have put it here or appearance; it relates to both.


Personally, I think the 8's would look good.. but what wheel size are you getting? If you want 17's, yes, 205/40-17 is the right size.

you'll want 205/45-16 tires. And your speedometer will be 0.86% off just so you know (which obviously isn't much, but I thought you should be aware).

Those will look good on your car. I like 17s on sedans though. And I never knew the speedometer would be off when changing wheel size.

Yup... when you change the wheel size, most of the time the wheel/tire's overall diameter changes a bit, so the wheels cover slightly more ground with each revolution. Actually, I kind of doubt that most speedometers are 100% correct even with stock wheels... I know bike speedos will be off by more than a few mph when you get up into higher speeds (we're talking 100+ though)
