Okay, I'm looking to get a new set of wheels but I'm a bit hesitant because i like how the stock F Sport wheels look however i want concave type wheels. So i have 3 choices i want to decide on and some friendly feedback would be much appreciate from anyone. The choices that i am considering are either getting a new set of 19s, or upgrading to 20s. And of course staying stock.

So I am looking at these in the same size as the F Sport wheels so i do not have to buy new tires. 19x8.5 in front and 19x10 in the rear. My RC is silver so here are some silver cars with 19s.




Or...

Should i scratch it all and get a set of 20s ? I am just really concerned about the ride, and clearance because i have RSR springs installed and it is a firm ride as it is and as it should be for a proper sports coupe. If i decide to get 20s, that opens the door to tons of other wheels to consider. Please share your opinions and vote, thank you very much.

Being from LA, I would personally stick with 19s and thicker rubber. LA pot holes are hell.. What kind of wheels were you thinking about getting (concave)?

Im looking at either the :

Stance SC 5 wheels in Gloss Black

STR 607 in Matte Gun Metal (Favorite so far)

Ace Alloy Convex in Brushed Titanium

I am on 20s, in LA, and have had zero issues. I was the first to install RSRs as well, and am 100% satisfied.

You'll sacrifice some ride quality with bigger wheels, but for me, the car is just as comfortable. And you really can't do much if you're going to hit a pot hole, whether 19s or 20.

I just purchased a atomic silver RC 350 F Sport and I really don't care for the stock wheels. I was debating the same issue; stay with 19's or switch to 20's. But I have AWD so I want to change tire size anyways and put a wider tire on the rear. After looking at many photos I decided that I'm going with 20's, they look great on the RC and don't appear to be any problems with lowering kits.( Hopefully they will have a kit for the AWD soon.) I know it will be more $ for 20's especially with tires but I think the look will be awesome.

Stock is way nicer and save money. These days not many people put after market like it used to be. You need to appreciate of what you have!

I would stick to 19s based on the fact that they are easier to sell then 20's. A buddy of mine ran 20's on low profile tires and a pot hole dented his bbs.

My vote goes to 19's too. I'm just not a huge fan of the wheels you posted though. I've never liked the look of 5 spoke wheels especially when there is not HUGE big brake kit behind it. It just makes the car look empty. Just my .02.

Have you been looking at any other options?

PirelliRC

Yes, i have. Many of them. My #1 pick as of right now is the TSW Bathurst in gloss gunmetal. It looks proper on the RC with 19s. Here's a silver lining RC just like mine with them, i think a member on the forum might own the car. I am this close to pulling the trigger but i do not want to rush at the same time.

I agree completely with the statement above, which is why I voted to stay with the stock wheels if those wheels you showed are the only option.

PirelliRC

Just ordered the TSW Bathurst in gloss gun metal. They should be on my car tomorrow.

Thanks to all who voted, appreciate the help.

I think you made a good choice, those wheels will look better on your car than the five spoke wheels you posted. With the increase in popularity of the RC, it's nice to personalize your car with a simple modification by changing wheels to distinguish it from other RC's that you see on the road. I plan on changing mine soon, but will keep the stock wheels and any other stock parts that I change on my car. Look forward to seeing pictures of your car with new wheels.

ZAM

did you get them in 19s or 20s?
