Default Decision time - 19" Trials or Techniks?? - picked Techniks

Decision time - 19" Trials or Techniks??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down to the wire and need help choosing between 19" polished iForged Trials or Techniks for SM Blue GS400. Will be using the fat setup to deal with wheel bending roads and concerned that Trials w/fat setup will look more like 18s. Also no big brakes in plans

I voted for the Technik. You dont like any of the new style from iForged, other than the trial? you can get a 4" lip in the rear

Geez thats a hard choice...um with lip sizes playing a major factor in my decision I vote for the trials. 4.25 inch rear lip vs. 3inch is a big difference. But when it comes to style I love the techs. so different and yet classy. But if you are ever thinking of doing Big brakes than maby get the trials for that reason aswell. You won't be able to see them that well behind the techs.

Techniks are a great choice. They just look better on a big car.
