BBS RK's? I love those wheels! Few of my Stang buddies got those on their Stangs. 18x10 rears & 18x8.5 fronts. Plasma finish would look sick on that white wagon!

I personally do not like those wheels at all. Here are some pictures of what my son is getting ready to put on his car after we lower it and put on shocks and struts.

For some reason he doesn't post over here too often, but he is on volvospeed quite a bit.

It's all a matter of preference and ones opinion. It's like this one guy at work he says that Enricos pizza is better than Tommy's and if somebody says Tommy's is better he tells them they are wrong cause Enricos is in fact better.

He also told a person who was asking me my opinion on a tv that a 26" widescreen TV is plenty big enough for a family room if the room is not too big just because he has a 26" widescreen tv. Personally I wouldn't have anything less than 40". He basically told the other person I was wrong. I Just ignored him and the other person listened totally with what I was stating as an opinion.

As far as looks go the Titans that tech now has on his white car are the ones I like the best. I just hear they are about as soft as any wheel made and bend very easily. Would not work here in Columbus with all our pot holes. My 2nd choice would be either Pegs or Volans, either in Anthracite.
