I agree that 17's are probably the opimum size, all things considered. Function before fashion.

Just for comfort reasons. But I bet the 19's look pretty sweet. 1999 Black SVT "If I were an admin I'd ban you without a second thought. " ~Trapps

Welcome to the club. There are some things you are going to have to sacrifice for looks. You will get use to it over time. 19's too big?? bah, I think anything below a 18 inch wheel is lame. Oh well we all have our different views. -Antonio Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

Sell the Axis Sevens and buy your car some lightweight forged 19s. Best move I ever made. They look dope too. Granted the 19s ride rough, but the suspension holds very tough. No unwanted play like the heavy Sevens. Bernie BTW, your not cleaning them things with Wesley's Bleeche White are you? j/k http://www.fototime.com/inv/08C8103B549F0AB
