Cant decide what wheels to buy...

Im having a hard time deciding what wheels to buy. I know want 19's and preferably matte or piano black and they also have to clear the brembo calipers. I just cant decide. I know the hottest wheels are both F/S 14's and the RTR's. But Im wondering if anyone has any other suggestions. Man what to buy, what to buy?????

I totally agree! I went back and forth for a couple months and ended up getting my first choice....RTR's.

I went back and forth and went with the FRPPs...I wanted a 9" width so I could do all 245/45-19 or 245/45-19 up front with 275/40-19 in back on the same rims. Saved some $$ too over the price of the RTR's.

I like to have some 20X10 on the back with 315 tires. I bet it will look like a tractor with the wheels puffed out.

This is true - when you see them, you'll know.

The Forgestars are a lighter wheel. That would be my choice

I am on my third set of wheels on mine (2010 18" Gt500's, 20" FRPP Spyder wheels) and am finally really happy with the 19 " RTR's, they only bad part is cleaning them.
