Wheels, and getting new tires

*Edit* oops, wrong board, can a mod please move? Thanks!

Okay, changing my post because i know it's stupid. It's just damn hard to find good looking tires (style over performance?)

This is what I WANTED, but they only come for 15'' rims

Firestone Firehawk® Indy 500® with UNI-T®

What I most likely will get: Anyone got these? They any good?

As you can tell there is that certain style that i'm trying to go for!

Those indy's are sexy. Can't afford new wheels though, so i'd probably have to get the cobras


How well do they perform?

Nope. 16's. I don't want aftermarket rims either because I love the camaro wheel cap... but i figure i'll eventually replace em.

i like the oem rims, that is why i stayed with them. i went through that new rims thing and decided that i loved my rims when i first saw them and no need to buy any others.
they may be only 7 inches wide but i can put plenty of rubber on the road.
