Hey I got a 97 se max and I'm thinking about putting konig verdict black opal 18" rims on it and I was wondering did anybody have problems with 18's such as pot holes causing tires flats or the ride being unbearly harsh also right know I've blown all my factory speakers and I don't have cash flow yet for a complete system change out is it possible to hookup a amp to the factory deck because I have some orion component speakers that are sitting in my closet that I could be in for the time being. So if anybody got any horror stories or suggestions holla at me.
