Default thinking of getting some wheels with this year's tax return....

MB wheels.... 16x7.5 or 17x8

porsche design 90 wheels fully polished. 16x7.5 and 16x9 (rear)

flik wasp A's 17x7 anthracite center w/ polished lip...

i was originally looking at 16's so i can auto-x with them, but if i cut my fenders right and set up my suspension properly, i should be able to run 17's no problem. flik's are cheapest, followed by the benz's, and the porsche's being about double the price as the flik's (because of the polishing)

thoughts?

Default out of those, I only like fliks

I wouldn't even look twice at the other two. They don't suit the car, IMHO.

Default What are you gonna run for axles with a 5x112 bolt center?

even the late axles are 5x100...

Default i'd need to run adapters on both the MB wheels (5x112) and porsche (5x130)

that's one reason that i'm leaning toward the fliks for right now because they wouldnt require adapters. then i'd get the wheels that do need adapters for shows.
