Thanks I just ordered 19's and wanted to see what it looked like, my car is lowered 1'. Is yours? And how does is handle with the 19's.

Mine is lowered, not sure exactly the amount but approximately an inch or so. I never measured before and after the coilover installation.

The ride quality is not too bad. I did the wheels and tires before the suspension and there was not a huge difference between the stock ride quality. You just need to watch out for road hazards.

My Denali has 22s on it, so I was already use to a little stiffer ride and the caution you have to take when driving.

Damn David, I hate when you post pictures of that thing! It's so sweet I can't stand it!

P.S. Here's what one looks like with 19s when you are whipped and your wife won't let you lower it.

How does yours handle compared to the stock rims. I have 17's now but it is lowerwed. I was wondering if it isn't going to handle as well with the 19's.

Dave,

What kind of rims do you have mounted? Mikey Likey. Rims or save up for the '07 Box....hmmmm....life is so tough.

I ordered the black double spoke wheels on nrauto.com I also ordered the black caps with silver crest.
