Well my car is dropped on the deck atm.

I had 19\'s before, and loved them !  Since getting the new coilys though, the car is much lower.  Maybe I should get 18, wonder how much grief it would be to change the ride height though

edit:  what am I talking about, I can\'t afford new tyres as well !!

17\'s are ok and ideal for track use,

but sometimes the arch doesn\'t quite look filled, although if its dropped quite low should look ok really :cheers

I suppose 18\'s is the middle ground, 19\'s look mega cool though and personally the car is still fast as and corners well, wheel spin is more liable though :Giggle
