I dont have a budget I just dont have money. I save for what I want regardless of the price. If I want it I wait for the money to pile up.

If I had better tires I think I could have run better than a 15.8 last night.

Tires definately are one of the most important mods on a car.

Yeah, but I think i'd rather have a 205. It's psycological about being over into the 200's, plus wider is better.(except if your a really really fat beotch) |

I like 205's better too but they rub on my 16's when I'm enjoying the bendies.

I'm actually looking into these 15's, but I can't afford them for about 2 months. |

Those look like 15x6 (judging by the tire size) - if that's all you need pick up some Si wheels, GSR blades or meshies, or even EP EX steelies (That's what I have) and wrap them with some good rubber. Some 15x6 wheels out there have a weight advantage but you can't beat those OEMs for the strength to weight to price ratio. I bent 3 of my aftermarket wheels (2 on the track) before going back to OEM steelies.
If Im buying new wheels full price I'm getting 15x7....otherwise I don't think it's worth paying $500-$800 for the same size as an OEM wheel
