I think Jeff mentioned that he already purchased a set of 17" tires for it for a good price. There is a substantial price jump from 17-18 that may not be justifiable since it is purely a cosmetic upgrade as far as I know. Though 18-20's look great on A-bodies, bang for the buck is with 17s IMO.

True, but I'd bet you won't gain any performance either, so unless the cost is the same (or very close), why not put that money into improving other parts of the car?

Who says you can't do both?

The $15,000 total budget. ;)

I hear ya.

The plan is to have the budget break down on the s-curve webpage, along with pictures, specs, the renderings, etc.

Thanks guys for emailing me and giving me chances late in the game to join in with a rendering. I'm just trying to keep my head afloat time-wise as is. I woulda loved to have done something for an Olds. I think all three of ya came up with some killer concepts and I will definately follow this project no matter what direction it takes.

20s would be cheaper then 19s for the record.

I think this is the color Ben has in mind, I think I need to go to the Toyota dealership and take a better look at it, This is a 06 slade blue avalon.

I might be a little bias here but to me it won't scream mean without the W30 hood. Now having one of these hoods mysself i know how much money they cost so i guess i can see why one might not be in your budget. That first rendering is total kick azz! and might only look better with the ram air hood! :thumbsup:

I forget if it's the Avalon or the Highlander that has the color, but it's really nice. It's called "Blue Mirage Metallic".
