Default 10,000 mile present

Car turned 10,000 miles. Decided to give the car a present. 19" BBS Forged wheels from the ISF. I think makes the car look much more updated. Very happy with them.

Very nice!!! Definitely an upgrade. Are those 35 series tires? How is the ride? I have stock 18's on my IS250C, was looking at 19" Bremmer Kraft BR17's in black.

Thank you for the kind comments.

My OEM setup is:
225/40/18 ; 255/40/18

Current tire setup is:
235/35/19 ; 255/35/19

To be honest, I haven't driven the car with the current sidewall. So I can't comment yet. This weekend I will put on about 300 miles, and I will post back after that.

Your welcome, our cars are the same color, love that Red.

Your OEM and Currrent tire setup is the exact same as what I have and what I'm going with. Looking forward to your review. I was worried about the ride quality with the larger wheels and shorter sidewalls.

Yes, for us Matador Red/Albaster was the only one I wanted. Will definitely post a review by Sunday, after I put some miles on the setup

Sorry for the delay.

Have put 721 miles on the setup so far. Driving over the same roads, as the car is always (some potholes etc), the ride is NOT any harsher. With the sidewalls, I was expecting it to be much worse, but have been pleasantly surprised. I was afraid that it would be, but the ride has been the same, and not noticeably worse. I would highly recommend the sizes.

That's great to hear about the ride quality, I was worried with the lower profile tires. Definitely the sizes I am going with, thanks!

Hey Ryan! The wheels look great! I would suggest lowering your car a bit next and maybe use polyurethane bushings to prevent inner tire wear, although it will increase NVH, but makes the car a little more dynamic at high speeds 😉
