Well my tires have 4 nails in three tires, all in unrepairable places! So why not upgrade?

I have a Sterling '14 track pack (brembos) with matte black stripes and am contemplating 19s or 20s, staggered or standard.

I'm more of an aesthetic person... so the fender gaps must be filled. I do plan on a 1-1.5 in drop in the future. I could see myself taking my car to a drag strip or try an autocross race once/twice a year. This is my DD so making the most of my tires is somewhat important. I'd prefer the ride qulity not to suffer as much, but I understand that'll probably happen with the drop and shorter side walls...

ANYWAY... here is what I'm contemplating (F14's are left off because $400/rim just isn't in the budget) AMRS, 13 GT500, 12 GT500, lagunas, or MMD zevens:

What are your thoughts? I'd like to purchase this week!

Thanks for your help... it's appreciated. Oh and pictures speak 1000 words

Tire recommendations are also requested!

I'd love to see some real world S197s with the Zevens, I think they look great. AMRs some say are too common...but there's a reason for that, they look terrific, though I've seen several issues with balancing. Good alternative is the SVE Drifts from LMR. My third choice from your list would be the 2013 GT500s. My only concern with those is the cleaning nightmare with the Brembo pads, so if you go that route some new pads with save your sanity.

So out of your list, those are my 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Hey Steve - Sorry to hear about the nails! That's no good at all! You've got some solid options in here and this is just tough!

I'm really, really partial to the Staggered AMR Charcoal & Mickey Thompson Tire Kit.

There's just something about Charcoal on Sterling that sets me off!

If you're trying to get an idea of how any of our wheels will look on your car check out the Customer Submitted Pictures, where you can then filter the results to see something like this!



If you're looking at the wheels individually take a look under the description where you'll see our Recommended Tire Size as well (We'll take the guess work out of the equation for you!)

Hey Lake! We just started moving the Zevens and we should have some Customer Submitted Pictures up really soon!

Again - I'm in love with the AMR's and I have been for quite some time and I think they look terrific as well. Very race inspired!

There was some isolated balancing issues that I've heard about in the past and if for any reason our customers were to have an issue I'm here to get them help as fast as humanly possible!

Dynamic - Let me know if you have any questions and I hope this helps!

I can personally vouch for this, you guys service has been great. I only had one issue and you handled it quick and easy. I haven't heard any recent complaints about the AMRs so I don't think those past issues would be a reason to stay away.
