I agree, and that applies to any tire, regardless if it 19" or 20".

Well you have the option of buying high quality tires, but 19's will cost more simply because theyre more common.

Please don't take my posts as an attack on 19's, I've got nothing against them.

PMing now .
PM sent with a couple of questions...

you are right on the price of the tires for the 19's.. prices always follow the law of supply and demand...

but still you are attacking me... LOL !!



Thanks !!

Light = Not as Strong
Strong = Not light

You want the best of both worlds.. it doesnt quite exist yet.

Your stronger wheels are probably always going to be your one piece wheels cast of forged.

The upside to having a two or three pieced wheel is if you ever crack the barrel you can always replace it without replacing a whole wheel. HOWEVER your cost of barrel and reassembling would probably be around the cost of a cheap one piece.


bigger difference from "cheap wheels" and "expensive wheels" is weight..

I have expensive 3 piece wheels on my car and I've bought two new rear barrels and repaired them 2 times. This is from driving normally and not slowing down for pot holes or railroad tracks lol but just an example.

Do not expect your wheels to stay perfectly round if you put it on a wheel repair machine it'll always be out of round after being driven on. Just dont hit things hard so they leak air

you can get a set of Hankook V12's for $740 out there

Talking

PICS as promised !!!

Eibach Sportlines + 15 Front and 20 Back spacers + Rear Camber Kit.

Will let it settle for 2 weeks then get an alignment.

I like the drop good enough for a DD, as for the ride...what do you expect from lowering your car ... rougher but still ok...I need to get used to it..

Enjoy...
