Default fellow HTer's I need your help.

please help me out yall...everybody know I've been tryin to sell my Racing Harts for quite some time now, and some of yall might know I recently bought some Acura CL 2.3 rims, the 5-spoke polished ones. Anyways, I have been given opinions by several people on what i should do. Now I would like everyone elses opinions. Keep in mind now the RH's are 18's vs. the CL's being 16's, and also im probably not going to turbo my car or drop an H22/23 in it, just do the normal mods and keep it reliable. I am also probably going to buy a older Jeep in the next couple months, maybe a CJ5 orCJ7. Answer Accordingly (no pun intended ). Thanks guys and girls.

you know what my opinion is bro... keep the RHs or at least trade them for smaller RHs or look into some different JDM lightweight rims... unless they're type R rims then maybe...

Imagine the future prices for tires for 18" rims.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep those RH's, you and I are a part of the RH family

I honestly like your ride w/the RH's. CL's are nice, but not as nice. Keep them both

switch to 17s (or 16s) or if you're too broke to get quality import parts (sometimes you get what you pay for), go to advance auto parts and hook up your car there... j/k... no one ever said hooking up your car was cheap-

We'd all like to have our cake and eat it too. But that wouldnt make sense. Its not like he's using one set for competition and other for street use. It would be like changing shoes--expensive shoes with very sticky soles.

I would not take that comment lightly. I understand it was said in jest, but it was still crassful.

Anything you spend on a car is ALWAYS going to be a loss.

very true espically when trying to sell a fixed up car, you can never get out of it what your paid for the parts and for how much the car is worth
