Austin, nice pics!

Hmm, I couldn't pay 300 per wheel unless I saved for quite a while longer.
My tires are close to being used up and I want to have the new wheels before
I have to buy tires (for obvious reasons.... try putting a 15 inch tire on a
16 or 17 inch rim)

I may be forced to settle for a 16 inch which isn't all that bad I guess. I
still need to figure out the exact specs as far as backspacing and offset (or
is that the same thing) so I will know what I'm talking about when I go shopping.
 I've had a guy try to sell me 5 lug wheels once..... so I know I need do my
homework and not count on the kid at discount tire...
