Think about it, your going inches wider in width of the rim and rubber which is not causing slip and keep the wheels planted to the ground for maximum grip.. Its hard to explain but the stock wheels feel liek they can slip which to the mind is a bigger thrill or quicker, but even if you put a lighter weight 19" wheel ont he car then stock, it will feel the same way, sluggish off the line because your not breaking traction and because of the rotational mass of the 19's but it can also be quicker you just dont notice it, i doubt it in your case though because those are wide 19's compared tot he stock 18's!!

Looking great. I love CB, and I also love SF Challenges. Great combo.

i actually had mines installed by my tint guy. he took no time and it was flawless.

i have heard that people who try to do it themselves have bubbles in thiers.
i did not want to deal with that headache.

1st of all, those rims look awesome on ur car!

i have volk 19'' te37 9.5f and 10.5 r.
when i drive on rough roads, i hear noises from the rear suspension. btw, my suspension is tein cs damper. so i went to the bodywork, and they told me that the rear rims and the suspension are scratching each other b/c of my rear tires are too wide. so i've ordered stillen cambers and two spacers for each rear tire. So do u have similiar problem, and if so, how did u solve it? ty

Rims look nice. Would prefer them a little lighter. Not mine anyway.
