Question Rim Question

I just bought some 18" Giovanna Genoa wheels and after reading through some of the recent post, they might seem to be a bit small. I have not put them on yet I am just wondering if I should return them. I also bought the L-sportline springs to compensate for the rim size (1.75" drop), but will that be enough?

I used to have a set of 18'' rims with the Lsportline drop....they look small....I ended up ditching the 18's a year later for a set of 20's.....looks so much better....just my .02

I am in queens. Do you think 20" rims would last on the NYC roads?

Personally I wouldn't go more than 18" in NYC. If you want the baller look than by all means go for it. Just not my thing.

Yeah, I originally started off with 18 inch Neeper Titans but last year I upgraded to a 20 inch Limited 344 rim. The ride actually is not that bad at all. You just have to be a little careful when going over bumps too fast because the front end will rub a little. After getting my 20's I'll never go back to an 18.
