Default Should I trade my Sprint Harts for some WedsSports SA90's? PICS of both wheels!

Alright well I am thinking about trading my Sprint Hart CPF's to someone locally for thier almost brand new WedsSports SA90's. My Sprint Harts need to be finished soon for sure. The paint is starting to chip off in a few spots, and they need new stickers as well. I just want some opinions on this.

Here is my car with the Sprint Harts..




Here are the SA90's




What do you guys think?


Also my tires are 205/50/15, his are 195/50/15.
Will the sidewall height on the 195/50's be alot smaller than the sidewall height of my 205/50's? I don't want to have significantly more wheel gap from switching the wheels.

Lastly, will I need to get another alignment once I swap out the wheels? I have Function/Form Coilovers. Will it need to be re-aligned?


I will appreciate ALL responses and opinions.

Thanks

i would swap those look nice. but isnt the 50 the sidewall? the 195 is the width of the tire. u'll have lil less rubbber hitting the ground.

50 is the sidewall height, but it doesn't work out the same regardless of tire width. its a ratio. the 195/50's will be a little shorter than the 205/50's but not significantly.

Yeah, I mean the SH's look nice and all, but I think I wanna change it up a bit.

And also will I need to get another alignment once I swap the wheels out?

Keep the opinions coming guys.

You shouldn't have to get an alignment for wheel swapping. 8)

Thanks.

I tried finding some pics of an EBP EM1 with SA90's but came up empty handed. Anyone know where I can possibly find a pic?

I wouldn't trade but it's probably only because CPFs are about my favorite wheel of all time, and I've never been a fan of bronze with EBP. But if you want the SA90s, go for it

SA-90s are awesome, but as we know Sprint Harts are all the rage right now and carry that "rare" quality.. the bronze would look better on a blue car personally.
