Default OK...Which Wheels???

Ok, looks like I may be thinking of getting after market wheels. Since JEH is not going to do this (they will only put in stock wheels). I'm thinking about taking my car else where (one of the place listed as "Service 1st" on my Ins List, actually the people that towed my S). Anyways, just wanted to see what you guys think about which wheels to get....Looks like rough estimate of about ~$2500 to get the wheels (don't know about tires yet)..

So what do you think?

Later,
Q

Mo,

1st, thanks for doing the GB on the covers.. , I will order later on, since it's only 7:30 in Cali.

2nd, the se-37a are ok, but trying to say away from the "Mesh" look, the le-37t aren't bad either. I was looking at the cd-28n ?? maybe??

So hard to choose..

I'm thinking maybe only 17", I hear that 18" inch slow down the S. (I'm I correct on this assumption)??

the volks, ce-28n are looking pretty good at this point

OK, suppose I do go ahead and get the after market wheels, what should I do:

-- Call JEH and tell them forget it, I want to fix it elswhere?
-- Call the "Service 1st" shop and find out for sure they will put on aftermarket wheels?
or

-- Call Ins. tell them just send me a check and go buy it my self and get alignment at "Pep Boys" or somewhere else? If I do this, what if the arm or the suspension is bent, Can I bring it back to JEH and tell Ins company to fix it?

As you can see this is my 1st time doing this, so I don't know exactly what will happen. Any suggestion will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Q

if i were you, i'd get the wheels myself. then, you can drive it back over to somewhere that can do the alignment, or do it at JEH, and also ask them to check everything while you're there.
