yeah only thing is i would still have 255 pzeros up front even with a square setup. not sure how i feel about that...but really really trying to avoid buying tires. i got zero complaints about the pzeros...but i also don't race or drive it like i stole it from time light goes green.

well gf9's would be at a 30 offset where as factory on the rear is at a terrible 48 or 52 or something. and of course .5 wider on front and 30 offset. so gf9s over pp is color difference, concavity, different mesh design, and lower offset
Very true. I was comparing what I saw pictured. Didn't take into consideration different color and offset. They do look good as they are, I just like the m250's a bit more.

MRR M350 in 19x10 and 19x11 with either F or R Pzero's on the front and a wider rear tire is what I'm holding out for..

You can keep the OEM tires on the same size wheel. A 255 will fit just fine on a 9.5" wheel. Once the tires wear out then you have the option to get whatever you want.

But since you are not going with a wide wheel in the rear just run a square setup of 275s once your tires wear out.

You can always sell your current tires too. Since they have a high price new a lot people think they are good tires and pay decent money for them. Factory take-offs.

I sold my 255s in a week on ebay. 275s took a few months, but they eventually sold too.

Then you can go wider all around. Something to think about.

well i planned on selling the pp wheels to make up the difference for new wheels. I just don't wanna spend 2k-3k+ on wheels and tires right now. If my 2nd son wasn't born 5 weeks early in march and didn't wrack up $80k in hospital bills (thankfully we have insurance that paid about 95% of it) I wouldn't care...but there goes my $3k+ in wheels and tires according to the wife. Just need some more houses to sell and we'll see! I haven't made any decisions yet. haha

I should of done this back with pp wheels and tires were selling at like $1800!

no i have a 75% chance because i will be giving him some free MRR T shirts,
Lanyards, license plate holders and lug nuts free.
so im banking on that extra %.
Well then...I'd say you have a 99.99% chance then!

the CF5V is a good choice ive done a few on the S550 really open wheel.

But lets be honest imma have to say 50/50 on the wheels to be professional, but 97% for the M350 wheels cuz I helped develop them lol

I agree about the M350s...they're gonna be awesome. I think we're all just trying to kill time by seeing / comparing viable alternatives (or pretending to find viable alternatives)

Khyber's wheel choices are exactly what I am considering. Not surprising since he has the exact same optioned car I do except the color (how does the saying go..."great minds..."? lol).

I'm between the M350 and the GF9 with a ever so slight edge to the GF9 for its concavity. The CF5Vs are a distant third - I like the concavity, but I only prefer them in flat black.

You posted the GF9s weights in another thread and they were surprisingly not heavy for a low pressure cast wheel...another plus for it!

...I gotta stop hanging out in these wheel threads and listening to Paul / NeedForSpeed...you're gonna lighten my wallet in 10 different ways (I also like the BBS LMs if I could justify that price lol)
