Pffffffft get with the times, bigger is better

19"s are the new 18"s
18" were the new 17"

But each to thier own, I personally LOVE 19" even better is 20"

Make an account on Photobucket for yourself and I will pm you tonight and tell you how to make the pictures you upload on Photobucket show on this site.

Basically you copy and past the URL IMG file details which will be below any picture you upload onto photobucket and paste them on to your post eg [IMG] [/IMG] but anyway I will pm you tonight

the ride is terrible, my car is not lowered at all and it still scrapes badly when going over decent bumps in the road . i also cant go off a gutter with the wheels turned at all because it rips the lips of my guard down and buckles the edge but im changing to 03 ba xr8 alloys with the correct offset and without the need to use hub adaptors which i hate to have to use ..i then can dump my car on its ar*e :

Mate you seriously need to stop critizing everyones rides. If you do not like them just leave it. You dont need to make downgrading comments. Stop being such a key board warrior and get some respect for other peoples cars

Whats the ride like and I have been told that even though the car appears to sit lower with 19's it is actually higher of the ground, is this true?

It looks alright, but personally I wouldnt go any bigger than 18's.

I have 17's and I think thats a decent enough size.

it looks lower because the wheels fit the arches more.

my car is lower than dezzas when he had 15's and i had 17's however his boot lid was actually 2-3 cm lower than mine, even tho he had much larger wheel/arch gap than i had, because the sidewalls of the tyres flex much more with smaller rims.
