Who runs 19 inch wheels here? Thoughts?

OK 19s sound like too much hassle. 18s it is then.

pic of the 710s on a BMP (i have BMP too). Gun metal look squite cool, but i like silver oo as its classic.



still love the 701s though



Are they 18s or 19s??

Im running 19s, i cant really fault them. Asthetically they look the goods and arnt as harsh or compromising as some might expect. The right 18s can look spot on (the 18" works on the Pirelli from WA looks the goods), in saying that the wrong style 18s on a MK V look undersized, it all comes down to the style of the rim.

I agree, I don't think my 18" looks too small, but as you say depends on the style. A nice stance with suspension drop ties it all together well.

Hell, 17's look hot with a good stance

I just got myself a set of these, p-coated them black and wrapped them with PS2s. I swapped my 19" VMR V709s out (running all-season LS2000 Goodyears), world of a difference!

I love the 709s and am considering keeping them as my spare set, they look really nice but the ride quality is just rough, especially with HK's roads being mostly cement. At least you folks in North America have tarmac to cushion your big wheels...

Thanks Jig, will give that idea a miss. Not sure if its going yet will have to look at revising the price however it's a bit hard to let it go..
