I'd like to run 26's on mine

From personal experience, if you get 24s you'll end up getting 26s later. But as a member posted previous, 26s are hard to get rid of if u wanted to down the road. I got my 2crabe no 11 for 2800 out the door. Year later sold them for 1100 :/ guess people are scared of the size. But damn they look clean.

Get 26s. If you get 24s you will eventually upgrade in the future. ...

I had a set of year old Gianelle 26s with Dcenti, TPMS, and lugs tires going for $2200 a few months ago. I guess most people decided somewhere in there head that it was not a good deal.

I remember that I was looking at those, but I didn't have a $$$$ yet and those wheels look really good.

Also Modded can I use the TPMS off my current wheels on new wheels?

Yes you can use your current TPMS off of the stockers on the new rims. For me, it is convenient to just buy a new set for $100 and sell the old ones with the stock wheels (if you sell them).

I'm probably going to keep them just incase something happens or I go on a long trip I could just throw the 20's back on.

Btw I believe my color is Greystone Metallic. Does anyone know what it looks like against Black wheels? Also how would a 26x10 25offset wheel work?
I know between a 30-35 offset is fine, but I believe 5 isn't that big of a difference.

Yeah mine is the same color as yours. I wanna put black rims on too but here are some pictures.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

Man, those Slides look good, but there is a guy down the street with them.lol, but if I can get them them at a good price I'm getting them.
I like that the black makes the rim look bigger because it blends with the tire though.

So I mentioned to my parents that I'm thinking of getting 26's and my dad said. He talked to a guy at a tire shop and the guy said. "That all those big rims end up messing up your front end and that he sees cars come back all the time with front end problems"

Is there any truth to this? Also has anyone had problem since running big wheels and tires.

I know eventually I will have to upgrade brakes and probably change my bearings, but I think that's about it.

I'm running fine had 24's since 33,000 miles and not one problem (knock on wood) you mean front end problems as in suspension right?
