Well i was bout to go get my body kit painted and installed today but then i ordered some fender flares to set off the body kit (NICE!). now i need to wait till they are shipped here. But now i need 19" rims w/tires because it just wont look right with 17"s. I was wonderin if maybe someone had some or new a friend before i paid all that money for a brand new set. OMG i cant wait!

I have a set of 18's....two are damaged but can be repaired by a wheel shop. I had Wheel Worx take a look at them and was told they were fixable. They will need new rubber, when they were bent it blew out the sidewalls. Info about them bending here (http://www.fastcougar.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=12&threadid=116013) along with pictures. I will let them go for cheap, make me an offer. If you are as close to MD as Jimmy (mercurycougar) is i can also deliver them.
They are Velox VX-K in gunmetal 18 x 7.5. They retail for $215 or so a piece, 2 rims are still perfect.

BTW, do you have coilovers? No sense in getting 19's if you dont have or are getting coilovers, they wont fit. [censored] those 18's with 225/35's barely fit.

Dam, sucks the city wouldnt pay for your rim, but i'm lookin for 19's. They look nice but i wanted to go as big as i could lol. Yes i do have coil overs dropped as far as they would go lol. Thanks for the offer. If i dont find anything soon, i will prolly talk to you bout the 18's. I can't post pictures i dont have a scanner sorry lol

I bought 17's. That was my second set of 18's that ended up bent, i was just tired of fooling with 18's. From what i remember i dont think it was anymore than $100 a wheel to fix. So figure $200 to fix them, plus the price to buy them off me, would still be cheaper than any 19's. But thats up to you.
