Sorry to tell you all I had swap my 17inch stock rims back on for a week~! I know the look is not as good as the 19inch! (even my wife said so...)

But the good thing is I got the confort and acceleration back! I like the acceleration now more than ever! I think I just have to get use to look...

 

I am pretty sad about this!!!!!

 

I had to do the same thing when I took my car to the dealer to get the TSIB done... Car looked so weird to me with the stock 17's

So you feel the difference from 19 vs 17... : )

 

oh no !

 

17" Ftw!! :d

 

i felt the complete opposite. i felt my car handled and accelerated quicker with my 19's.

i think my forged 19's weigh less then the cast 18's but i dont know about 17's

 

I agree! When i had my 17" winter rims on the car took off much better. they didnt look to bad but you can feel the difference from 17" to the 18" OEM or even + size rims from there. Wish it looked better with the 17"....You wont last with them on

 

18'' STOCK rule

 

One think you all have to consider is the breaking kit differences in 250 and 350... Since most of you are IS350 I guess 19inch and 18inch not much differences. But for me 17inch to 19inch the handling is good but I feel the acceleration is a bit better in 17inch! The breaking has improved a lot! So I miss my 19inch as well just to share some feeling and experiences...

 

Yes, the car did, actually feel better and faster with my 19'' maya's and ps2 tires.

GO figure

 

It is amazing how much different a car will drive with lighter rims. Acceleration and braking improved a bit when I swapped out my OEM for the MOMO's. It changed the dynamic of the car. I noticed it immediately.

 

Yea the PS2's are great. Finally getting to push them now that its warming up in IL. Had some fun pushing it today!! Expensive tire but well worth the $$
