Default thinking of new wheels....

i was considering changing out my 17" konigs for some 15" slipstreams, and i was considering a 195/55/R15 tire size. here is a pic of what it might look like, lemme know what you think? and any tire recommendations for that size, i was looking for comfort.

i love slips because they are light and look good. i would recommend getting either 15s or 16s. for the tire sizes go with a 205/50 on the 15s and for the 16s i think its a 205/45 thats best.

I enjoy the rims you have now.

But if it's a performance thing over a looks thing. Go for it.

Keep in mind that 15" wheels are not going to look nearly that big on your car, just a heads up.

Search for the "tire calculator" to see what the best option will be
