I think 18s would be a little too much rim for the Nascar look. It should almost look like steelies...

I'd say a 15 or 16" rim would look the best. More rubber on that wheel!

Those are the right rims, but finding Goodyear RWL (or yellow for that matter) that fit 18" will be tough, if not impossible. I pm'ed you, but those Nascar tires only come in one size - has to be 16". But mine are Primax Victory's. Contact the seller to see if he can get 16". Getting the exact righ offset is important too. I can't remember what it is. But I did have to grind my calipers to make them fit.

Let me know if you have to grind your calipers too. I was pissed off about that. I had to buy a grinder and, figuring I really needed it the once, went cheap. I nearly killed myself with that cheap grinder and worse. No matter how I tightened it, it would not stop throwing the disc off. It got the job done at high risk, no problems with the wheels since. Several places had to balance them to get it right.

Later, while grinding something else around the house (in my robe) I nearly castrated myself with that damn grinder. Launched the disk right through my legs and the robe. I threw it out.

It was pretty funny Taz! I can't remember ever having such good luck - its kind of invigorating like dodging bullets. But I did set to work on having kids right after that just in case my luck was running out.

The grinder just wouldn't hold the disks well. Exploding disks are probably worse. I was in my robe cause I was stupid. But it was just a quick small task where I was grinding soft plastics and I didn't think anything could go wrong.

Look at me - I'm Jesus Christ!

Do the eagle rs-a's even have raised white lettering? I'm eager to see them. Truthfully, I hate the way these tires perform and ride. I love to get something better, but so few Goodyear's have raised white lettering to work with. If the paint works on black the scope is widened
