I suppose some guys do it because they want to modify in some way, but don't have the $10k-$20k for the 3.4L engine upgrade or such. It is one of the cheaper mods to do.

To each his own, but given the cost, compromises in performance and ride quality (for both the wheels and lowering), the extra tire expense, and the detracting look of wheels which are too large, I'll stay with my 18's...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
MN, somewhere is a guy saying the same on your upgrade from 17 to 18.....I actually think the car looks phenomenal with the 19 carerra classics....nothin to do with being a cheaper mod....I eve cringe at dropping 2K for them as is......
