the 19s are a clean set of rims..

ive been seein clean sets going for around $1200 wit alright tires. would it be worth it to go with the oem 19s or just buy a better set?

cant beat it for the price and performance, since its forged and lighter.

i could buy em and save the extra $800 i would save from not buying an aftermarket set.. then get me some tein basics!

 

For the price, I think they are a great set of rims. They have to be one of the best OEM rims on the market today.

 

you can do that, or spend a lil extra and make your car stand out from the OEM crowd ...just a thought.

 

I think its a much better option than buying a cheap set of aftermarket wheels as they will be lighter and stronger.

 

The OEM 19s are a quality wheel made by Rays. They do have a major drawback, IMO. They are only 8.0" in front and 8.5" in rear, so you can't really put wide tires on them to improve the handling. Also, their offset is conservative. You could get around the offset issue with spacers, but not the tire issue. If your going to stick with stock sizes, or upsize by only one size, then the stock 19s are a fine choice.

keep shopping around..you should be able to find a mint set
with TPS for $1200-

FYI, I sold mine/mint for $12 beans without the TPS and the tires had
2500k on the clock

 

cool. maybe i'll just go with an aftermarket set!

 

i got a set for 500...(with tires)..
one complaint, they dont look like very big. they dont seem like 19s because of the small lip, but for the price i was happy. they are so clean looking and really look better than the previous 18s. however, 1200.. i would spend a lil more and get something to stand out

 

How did you find them so cheap!?!?

 

You mean a set of wheels that are compatible with the sensors, right? You can use your existing sensors.....

 

I want some OEM 19" rims ...

 

a guy in the 'fl forum' of this forum, posted them for sale a long time ago and no1 was biting.. i hadn't visited the forums in a bit and asked and 500 was agreed upon. the back tires had to be replaced and there was some curb rash but my **** was curbed worse already. the funny thing is, i went to pepboys to get them put on, and the assistant manager bought my 18s for 600! its like i got 19s for free and a hundred bucks.. which went to my tire fund.

 

i was thinkin about buyin a set and powdercoatin em black with a polished lip

 

stick with the 19" Ray oem... just lower your ride... don't use spacers very dangerous if you going high speed

 

go look in the marketplace on here or on craigslist.. u should find a good set with minor curbage for around 800 with at least 50% tread on tires
