WOW! the 21's...the only reason I did not go with the 21's was because it is very hard to get tires to fit..very limited as I found out through doing research...none the less though good grab...

my 20's are Vredestein 275-40-20 315-35-20

Had to go with replicas....Got quality rims for under $1000 and the TPMS sensors but having trouble finding tires, especially non-run flats. Any suggestions as to where to find them would be great.... Tire rack has em for about $2 grand so I'm still looking.....

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Unless you have money to burn keep the rims you have and save for the future.
