Mr. Jones Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 TR's are lighter, therefore, they should be purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 OZs, then have your lower valances colormatched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Since I tend to be more function then form, I'm gonna say the TRs. Cheaper tires to go abuse and lighter, plus it's not like they look bad. I will agree the OZs look better but that is not my first requirment when looking for parts.

I will agree the OZs look better but that is not my first requirment when looking for parts. +100 Not to mention the savings and extra variety available on 17 vs 18. The question remains. Will the racer or the ricer prevail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 1.5lbs is almost nothing. The tires are quoted as weighing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizin01 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 the 18's will shed weight over your stock wheels. . I hate the look of my 17" OZ's after I've put the 18" OZ's on. . You know the right choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
