    I want my iX weaves back. Can't source a set that doesn't look like it lost a fight against a blender.

      I just find it hard to believe you'd take the SAME wheel in 15" over 16". Would you? Anyone?
      Tire choices suck for 16's though.

        That why I got rig of my weaves, they were too far gone. I still need to refinish my RC's.

            It's going to be a long time till you see it again. Once I get my legal issues taken care of it's going back off the road. It's going to get painted and the engine finished.

              I did. I could have bought 16 or even 17. I wanted more tire.

                  I've gotta vote 15s too because that's what I'm rolling but I do like seeing variety...

                    I wish my epsilons were 16's... Not too bad as 15's though and as stated before the tire selection is better.

                      I like 16s too you just need a really proper offset to put nice size tires on it. I don't want 205 45 and rolled fenders. I want 225/235-45 or 50 for my rolled fenders.

                        A) I vote 15 inch, because they are period correct (it's just an opinion - they are like assholes, everyone has one, and they mostly stink).

                        B) totally different question... where is the NW thread where folks post pictures of ridiculous wings and stuff. I saw a winner here in Salem last Friday. Wish I could have gotten better pics, but people should be on the lookout!

                              Then why didn't you get 14's?
