There is certainly a trade-off to make - nothing's free in this world. Can't be a 'huge' loss because nobody would change their wheels and spacers. I'm guessing only (lollll could be night/and/day difference also?, nobody would tell you)

About the technical side of it, I personally don't know. Near impossible to solve without hands on experience. All I know for sure is a new bearing is only $9.99 and fun is priceless

What do you mean...

Stockers are 10" on the 987, I would imagine? If you mean you like the wheel type and want them in 9" then good luck finding a oem kit out there... knockoffs only

Desirable wheels, light for their category, but a PITA to clean apparently (see url). Not cheap toys also. I'd look in the aftermarket for the same prices. Unless you are that lucky, and can find a good set for sale around,... I'd be surprised lolll Hot wheels man

Are the Sport Design 19's a valued option?
