Optimal size for what? Do you know what size tires you want to run? What are your goals? Street? AX or track racing? Do you want to stretch / flare your fenders? What's your budget? Do you just want something that looks different?

6" or less wide, 4-lug, black. We're starting to narrow it down.



Gregor, put down the spray can and step away from those wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
