A guy at Discount tire is selling a set of these rims in 19x7.5 w/Toyo Proxes for only $1400. Does this sound like a good deal or no? He did put them on my car and they look pretty good, although I wasn't able to get the full affect since I haven't lowered my car yet. So what is it (Y or N). Below is a link to the rims.

I don't know much about those rims, but I'm looking to pay $1500 for my 18" x 7.5 wheel and tire combo so it sounds pretty cheap.

However, does 7.5 seem a little thin for a 19" rim to you Most of them that people get are 8 or 8.5.

 

Yeah they didn't look to big. I had never really thought about getting 19's until now. By the way what rims are you looking at getting?

They are a knock off of the SSR rims. I'm still debating between Yokohama ES100s, Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 or the Nitto NT-555 in 235/40-18.

 

too thin for a 19" rim...you can't fit 245's on there...

those are nice but spta....with tein drop you want 245/40/18, nothing less (especially in NY)

who sells them dude?

 

It seems that where ever I look 235/40/18 is the reccomended tire size for a 18 x 7.5 wheel. Do you have any places that will support 245/40/18 as in spec?

Also, according to the Miata tire calculator that size is the exact same diameter (235) as my stock 17"s.

I found the wheels cheepest here:

Tell me how much of a difference that the 245 makes over the 235?

 

Actually, the 245's are a closer match:
