Have 19's? Let me see them!

Id like to see pics of cars with 19in wheels. I just picked up some today on craigslist. Id put one on the front and the car looks like a 4x4 now. The tires on there are just too skinny for me

Re: Have 19's? Let me see them!

Yeah the 19's look a little too big for me...

I really like the 18's tho.

I'm going to be upgrading 18's sometime next yr....

Its no the aesthetics that really concern me tho, its the quality of the ride I'm really concerned about. I'm pretty sure the 20's have a really harsh feel to them.

But everyone seems to sacrifice one thing or another to accomplish what they want for the car, soo I say to each there own!

That Firebird looks awesome by the way & twin turbo has a few beautiful 3rd gens with both 19's & 20's I believe....

Thank you. I understand ur point on giving up one for the other. My car rides very nicely on my not so obvious 19s. Moog springs.front.and rear with KYBs.. soon to be Tokicos. I like the protection I get from big imperfections in the road, but still comfy enough for long trips. But as you said.... To each their own!!
