I know this is an OLD thread but I am considering some 19" Lobster Claw wheels as a different look/upgrade from my 17" Chrome Turbo Twist wheels. Can I get some thoughts/feedback on those of you that have HAD 17's and now ride on 19's? Would like to know your thoughts.

Thanks for allowing me to resurrect an old thread.
