keep the 18's. they look nice so theres no need to change. theres too many issues with 19's (besides looking ridiculous on a coupe without a widebody kit). itll be a rough ride since youll have virtually no tire and once you hit a pothole youll probably bend it. in my opinion keep the 18's. o and with 19's youre not gonna move very fast at all, a geo metro might give u a run for your money![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] save some money and keep the C2's, they look tight as hell anyway

Racing harts are bad. not to mention how bad 18 are. the ones u have now are tight, and what u spent like 2-3 hundred wheel plus tires. why would u want to spend like 7-8 hundred a wheel plus tires for not to mention the rarity of 19. stick with the ones u have

rims that are too big look just as bad as steelies IMO. Plus they're non-functional...for all intents and purposes. Stick with your 18's....i'd even consider 18's just a bit big for my taste. 17's all the way.....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

If you're looking to make your car more show than go, and you don't mind the high probability of bending one of em, then go ahead for the 19's, playa. It's your world
