Well my tri-spokes have seen their better days. And my tires have turned into slicks. I'm upgrading to some new 19in rims. Now here's where I need your help. What size tires should I get for these? These are the ones I'm looking at... http://firstchoicewheelsandtires.com/?p ... &item=4382 Also what size if I ended up going with the 18's? Oh and if anybody knows what all the stock specs of our 16in rims our that'd be great? Thanks!! Edit: This is for the 96 SSEi btw

As we discussed on the phone. I'd say 19s. If you can try, I think it would really set the car off.

Still not sure on gold though. Paging Dr. Booze.

Hmm I could try to PS this for you later. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this particular wheel design.

As for the tire sizes, I'm looking at 19's as well, likely going with 255/40 R19 rubber. I expected a thin selection for tires when I was looking, but there's actually plenty of choices for this size.

FYI, although you love the 19s you found, tires are alot more expensive than anything 18" or 20"...just my 2 cents.

Was JUST doing some pricing on my wheels for my G8, it's going to be $80 cheaper for tires for my Camaro wheels than for my OEM 19's. However, I then have to buy TPMS sensors, etc, so it's a little more. Still deciding what I want...

I say 18s are the perfect size for a 92-99 Bonneville. Even 17" swoopies look amazing on them!

Or 17" GP wheels. :P

I'm not sure on the design either, but you know my preference when it comes to wheels, I prefer OEM or near OEM designs. Could look good though. But as said 19" tires are expensive compared to 18 or 20s.

17 is too small for 92-99, sure it looks better than factory, but nonetheless. 18s look good, but 19s are awesome. I can't wait to see what Ryan comes up with.

Not sure on the gold, but the more I look at it... Lol But great looking photoshops booze.

I like that style wheel though. You're gonna need to lower it Ryan.

I opened them up in new tabs on Imgur. That's how it worked for me.

Oh my god! That looks amazing! Thanks Booze!!! I'm still weighing out a few other options, but now I'm really leaning towards these haha. Thanks for the input, I'll keep you guys updated. Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, I've switched jobs again and work about 60 hours a week now.

You still selling cars? Or have you switched from that?

:withstupid:

But yeah, now that I see them chopped on the car, I kinda dig em. BUT one thing that keeps tricking my eye is the outer edge of the rim makes it look like it has whitewall tires. :P Probably wouldn't in person, but still.
