6UL wheel delay.
I'm sure some of you have heard the wheels are delayed until the end of April and it may be later than that. I have the 15x9 on order right now. I'm driving on stock wheels with snow tires at the moment and I don't really want to be driving on them until May. I'm not sure what to do, as #1 snow tires aren't fun, #2 they'll wear much faster as it gets warmer, #3 I hope to be turbod by May. I'm in the NYC area so it's not blistering hot in March and April but snow tires aren't necessary anymore. Should I wait it out or get different wheels? The new sportmax xxr 513 don't look terrible, but I'd feel like I was downgrading, and I'm not sure how much rubber I could fit on them and still get them under the fenders. What to do?

I actually think the new sprortmax looks pretty good, but then again I don't want to be stretching 195s on them. I want 225/45/15 which I'm pretty sure is a no go with them. I guess I'll have to wait. I just ******* hate using snow tires.

Wait it out. Throw some cheap or used tires on ur stock wheels until they come in.

Man up. I drove on CORDED 185/60 all-seasons (Dunlop SP8000s) waiting for my 6ULs. Emilio had like $1100 of my money for 10-11 weeks, and at that timie it wasn't even a proven wheel, just a drawing in AutoCAD.
Worth every single penny, and every single day I had to wait for them. If you are seriously considering cancelling your 6UL order and ordering Sportmaxes, perhaps you need psychiatric help Seriously, though, you're going to be pissed off this summer when everyone is flashing photos of new 6ULs and 225s and you downgraded to a 7" wide wheel.
