Default THANKS :)

...Not only do they make the car look totally different, but the ride is so much better now too! ...who'd a thought 19" conventional tires would be a softer ride than 18" run flats.. LOL

I went from 17's to 19's on my previous car, I couldnt believe how much better of a ride their was. Only thing is potholes and such, only downfall I suppose.

Default Picture

CEBOYD -

Any possibility of a picture of the entire car, side view? I am curious to see the effect. That was one of the wheels I was considering at the time I made the switch.

well, Unless I can get a ride in a lowered SC430 to judge for myself how the ride is, I'm not inclined to change mine...

I like the comfortable ride... Even more so on conventional tires vs. run flats...

This isn't my Porsche.... I don't need a 'slammed' SC430 with a rough ride... Maybe if I lived in the land of perfect roads like California.. I'd reconsider.. LOL
