Wheel/Tire dilemma -

///M Life · 04-06-2009, 10:58 AM

Should I refinish my bent contours (damn chicago roads

) and get new tires = about $1k

Or get new tires for my 19" Hamanns = $8-900

Im worried that the 19" would be worse on these roads especially with the low pros.

recent pics? I think the contours would look to small on your cars. Plus, you can get contours for cheap now.

this is what the car looks like now on contours without front lip. Sorry for the crappy pic

Looks pretty good on contours but factor in a DROP if you keep the 17s.

What happened to your front lip? Want to sell it?

Yea the 17s make the car look pretty high

I have the lip for sale here somewhere, still not sure about selling. Looks really nice when i put the 19's on...

Any plans on suspension?
I would get tires for the Hamanns and keep the contours for the winter.
