Default Rear Wheel - powder - tire options

So I got a stock rear wheel, and gonna need a tire soon.

What are my options?
looking for cheap, if I had money I would just buy new rims/tires.

Can I cheaply go to a powdered 18"?
Can I send it somewhere to be done?

I'm in Cali, so if you know somebody.

So If I stay with the stock 17", what Tire can I get?

lots of options out there. im sure you can lace a 18" rim to ur hub, i think i remember someone on here doing just this. but im having my stock 17 powdercoated and wrapping a metzler 170/60-17. but you can go with the stock dunlop, HD michelin, SE 180, and im sure there is more tires.

try hdwheels.com and buchananspokes.com for more information
