15s and RWL tires
I'm considering transitioning to some 15x8 old school style wheels, the ones that are kinda plain with the holes drilled in em. And then use some rwl cooper cobra tires. I'm considering this for two reasons, I like the retro look and with the way I drive I can't afford the nittos I've been running (the cobras are half the price). Just looking for some opinions.... Thanks!

You will need some modifications to fit 15 inch wheels over your front brakes at the very least. I recently had my tires balanced (factory 17s) with the wheel weights on the inside of the wheels, and at first the weights rubbed on the calipers and they had to rebalance them and move the weights a little.
