13236, What shoudl I do? ( wheels decision)
Posted by Jasvb TS2K2, Nov-08-02 06:37 AM
I have a set of 18" Konig Verdict's on Nitto 555's. Two are FUBAR. I am stuck on what I should do.

1. Should I buy two new Konigs @$500 and use the same tire.

2. Buy a complete set of Paradymes, 18's, at $750, use the old tires, sell the two decent Konig Verdict's.

3. Buy the 2 Konigs, at $500, sell the complete set for whatever I can get and buy a new set of lightweight 17's.

Please help me out here. To see the Konig's look at my sig. I posted a pic of the paradymes, not sure about any 17's yet. TIA. Later.

If you're ready for a change, get the Paradymes. But shop around a little. I got my set of 18s for under $600 at Discount Tire. :)

I say DON'T GO FOR THE PARADYMES...I want those...they would look tight as hell on your car tho. If you want a change in your look go for them and sell your others (probably all 4 though, too hard to sell just 2)

i say go with quality 17's SSR 17's would be worth triple their weight in platinum (cause they're light) to me. but i'm performance oriented. when you consider the performance differences in a 17 vs an 18 (none) than consider the maintenance difference, 18's wear from camber alot worse and cost more to replace, i'd go with 17's. bigger than 17's are for show IMO. i'd even go with 16x8's and roll 225 50 16's
