I did mine too. My sig shows my old wheels. Car is in th ebody shp fixing a couple of dings and putting painting the turbo spoiler. Should have it back this weekend. I got nervous at first because I have the Eibach Pro kit lowering springs, and 19z looked so big. But they fit great, no clearance problem. And I feel no difference in ride quality from my 17z. Go for it. They look hot too!!!

I have 19s also. The car came with 17s. The PO put 18s on it. I stepped up to the 19s. A couple more owners and it'll be ridin' on 24s, I guess.

Seriously, I love them. They ride well. They do not rub and they look just right.

I would say you are a bit brave powersports. Are there a lot of potholes in Romania?

I remember watching the UK Top Gear once and they proclaimed the best road in the world existed in Romania. It will be a dream of mine to take my car there one day.
