Got my OEM 19's on - PICS

My initial impressions are that the ride is smoother and there is much less noise compared to the stock 18's with the mich pilots. Also they seem to handle better. The rims themselves are shinier than the 18's and although they are harder to clean, it is easier to reach through the spokes to clean the calipers.

It's been sunny here, so i can't comment on handling in the rain yet.

I'll prob be selling off my 18's individually, pm me if interested.

How much did the upgrade run ya? Was it a simple swap or did you have to do any other adjustments to make the 19s fit your 04?

Do you have to align the car with the 19's since you had originally 18's?
