Should I or Not ? - Please Vote
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)?

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.

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?

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 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.
