Default New wheels for the rc fsport (pic)

Got me a set of Ultimate Performance wheels UP100 to replace the stock fsport wheels. I wanted that concave look. Fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5. I will be using the stock tires that came with the car. The wheels look great in person and the quality is fantastic for the price range. I highly recommend them especially to people that want a different look but don't want to spend much especially on a lease like mine.

I will post pics when I get them mounted.

Just wanted to change the look to be more aggressive. Since the car is a lease, I rather not spend money on tires to move up to 20s. Before lease end, I will swap back the stock wheels with the same stock tires ( my lease is only 24 months)

I still don't understand. Buying a high end car but cheaping out. Its ok to be frugal but it should not look like you are.
Might as well keep the stockers on if you're going to buy 18's.
My car is a lease too. I put 20's on it. By the time the lease is over I will need tires again. If I decide to turn the car in i will just put the stockers back on. That way I won't be charged for bald tires.

But its all good. Do your thing.

I understand your point. that is one angle, my angle was that I was fine with the 19s and I am confident the stock tires will still be good when I return the car. It only gets driven once or twice a week as this is my 3rd car. I just like switching for my day to day commute.

Look nice, although I have no problem with the stock F-Sport wheels.
