R33 With Inox 1's

[PHT33]

Hey all,

Have just had a lengthy discussion down at the local Bob Jane T-marts branch about Koya Wheels rim Inox 1. Have come to the conclusion (according to their little guidlines book doohicky) that will have to run 19" rims because the widest you can go on a 8"(wide) is 225/40 and this is all the 18" come in. This is all good for the front but won't cut it for the rear. There-for have to go to the 19's to get a 9" wide rear rim so as to run something more like a 255/265 back there.

So anyway it comes down to costs. They gave a quote of $1950 just for the rims which i can pay off because they're not available for 3 months, which is ok. The real problem is the tires, they're going to be at least an extra $300 each on top of the price of 18's.

Does anyone know of an alternative for decent 'street' tires that brings the $500-$600 entry level price mark down?

Also does anyone know a rim destributer that can maybe get these rims in cheaper but keep it on a pay off scheme?

Thank-you in advance,

Chris.

P.S. Is anyone else interested in these rims, a possible group buy???
