fuzion used to have 19's. Because of the reduced side wall height they are rougher, but i guess thats the price you pay? Theyre also more expensive, as are the tyres!

!9's are getting fairly mainstream now.
As said they are a little rougher due to the low sidewall tyres and of course then u have to be careful of potholes. I sell rims for a job and after all the cars i've seen, i'd definately go the 19's. As they become more popular the tyres will come down slightly too.

Ive 19x8s all round...think they look great...they are a slightly rougher ride but ive spent abit on a good suspension setup so mine isnt as severe as some lowered cars.....only dramas was gurads had to be rolled otherwise too much scrubbing occured with high speed corning or dips in the road

Yeah they do ride rougher than a smaller sized rim and tyre.
I had to get mine lipped, and it has definately worked. Any panel beater and most wheels shops will do it, or you can try yourself. If you want any more info on doing it yourself, let me know and i can give you some info. Pics in my gallery if you want to see the size of them on the car. I'm sure a few other guys on here would have some pics for you to look at in their gallery, to judge the size and look. |

if u want 19s man id get the rolled regrdless espescially if u know any painters or panel beaters.....i got mine done nice and cheap...the only cost is if u do find they are scrubbing bad and they have to roll them a fair bit particularly the front quater panels that the wheel arch some times cracks and then the gurads need repinting....too bad u didnt get this done before that wicked respray

Meh, 18s are big enough for EF/EL's without a body kit.
