new advice on some shoes for my new SE.

[Gdeus]

Need advice. My bad it says shows when it shouldve said shoes. I dont want anything that looks like I should be in the fast & furious. I want something sexy, grown up and classy. I would like the rims in that 18 range because with the stock 17 i have now . I get flats a lot because the streets in new jersey are not great. Here's my car.. I would like black to grey rims too. I dont think im doing any tints either because jersey really doesn't like tints.

well if your balling with money you can get your sexy,fancy rims lol but if your on a budget go replicas, while 18s only way to make it really stand out is to lower your car for that flush but then again your in NJ (sorry for you cause i know the roads suck balls) so unless u can go 19's so you dont have to lower it go for it

I miss my Camry OEM smooth ride on 17". Road in MD sux too, highway included. Some of the bumps are so sharp and high it shake the whole car. Can't feel as much with Camry OEM wheel and tires. It's tires high and thick wall absorb all these bumps.

With speed cameras everywhere people are doing 45mph on highway with speed limit 55mph. So thin wall tires for handling is useless. So sad to see everything is going to the dog.

sounds like you need to invest in radar detector with speed camera detect sir..

I commute 100 miles a day around the DC beltway from VA to MD, with less than ~2 inches of frame clearance, on stretched tires

needless to say, it's not all that comfortable, especially with all the construction going on..


OP, for a soft ride, go with a set of 18x8.5 +35 and a 245-45 tire...

So you must be one of those making all the scratches on the bumps and speed bumps too?

VA really f*** up their roads and MD now is doing the same. So many bumps, and right now I have 245/40-1 not the thinnest but I do feel for my car.

So let me get this straight. On your stock 17" wheels, you get a lot of flats. So going 18" would make it better? Wheres the logic in this?

You do know that the bigger your rims, the more pricier your tires will cost. Secondly, the bigger the rims, the smaller sidewalls you have on your tires.

19"s with a drop on the TRD springs?? That is what I am thinking. Does anybody differ or have any input in this? I have a 2010 white SE and I was thinking black on chrome lip.....Chyme in please...

[jay2kony]

I have 18x8.5 with TRD springs with xxr 521 gloss black with machined lip. just all thats left is spacers. but my se is black tho
