Part of the makeover that we’re aiming to give the red car is a complete tire replacement - meaning a complete change in the car’s set of tires including the rims. Especially since we’re planning to give the car a new paint-wash, it would certainly look nicer if it had new chrome mags and brand-new tires.

This is exactly thereason why I’m on the hunt for really nice and affordable wheels right now. Currently, I’m checking out Wheelfire because it showcases a really convenient and customizable search for browsing available tires and rims based on sizes and makes. Not to mention, they’re regularly offering great wheel and tire packages.

Of course, budget is still one of my top considerations because no matter how much I want to pimp my ride by getting 18 inch rims or really thin tires, I still have to be realistic with the cost. I mean I can’t simply buy tires with my enthusiasm right? Anyway, as soon as I find my choice of tires, I’m off to talk with the detailer to discuss how much the paint job would cost and see if I’d still have enough for new tires.
