I have a question for anyone running 15's or 16 inch aftermarket wheels, do your tires have good sidewall retention? Is it a nice and firm ride? I'm thinking about getting a nice set of straight up JDM shiznat...anyways,
My stock tires are all flimsy and whatnot, like when I take a hard turn, or even change lanes kinda quick the I feel like my car is swaying because the sidewalls are flexing, and I do not like that one bit.....

Are aftermarket 15/16 inch tires nice and firm?

I really feel much better, and like much more a really hard/firm ride, I don't like to sway around and stuff.
Thanks everyone

It depends on the tire, you can find anything from Buick tires to basically solid steel side walls.

BFG, Falken, & YOKO have all stiff sidewall. you need something with a 2 ply sidewall i think it is... i have the BFG KDW NT...amazing, better than my Falkens i experienced. they are firm as hell... so and i have 205/50/16 with a 16x7 rota GT3

Thanks for all the input, I think I've settled for 17's and I'll be sure to get a stiff sidewall.....I think i'm going to try Bridgestones.
