Okay...I have save some coin and ready to invest in rims/wheels. I do like the chrome look, and have the chrome package. I am unsure about the size (18"-24") any suggestions?? I like these one I see on ebay (see link). Has anyone purchased rims from ebay, if so, any input would be appreciated. If anyone has any suggestions on where to purchase please let me know. I do live in So Flo so salt and poor weather not an issure. Getting really excited about this move.

I have never bought rims, but other (less expensive things). I would suggest checking the sellers feedback for any past problems. Any by the way...sweet rims.

Uhh...idk if this link will work...but it's worth a try. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2591178 This is one i found on cardomain w/ 24's. I guess those are low pros i'm planning bigger rubber so i really don't know. I think it looks pretty good (IMO 26's are too much)

Hope this helped.

if you want to fill the wheel well, you're looking to fill a hole where a 32" tire used to be so you will want 4 to 4.5" of sidewall on the tire if you are using a 24" rim. anything less might look a little empty.

bottom line is that the overall diameter of the rim/tire must be 35" or less for no rubbing problems. Doesn't matter if you use a 16" rim or a 30" rim.

I like these Gino 20" Rims with 275x55x20" tires.
These should look great on my black H3X!!

Would 305/35/24 work with 24" rims? I was told it would be a 4" sidewall.

Several of the tire/rim vendors like www.thetirerack.com have online calculators that tell you what fits and what is the same diameter.
