Anyting < 19" = bad. Should have chromed the stock wheels, they would have looked better IMHO.

[/quote]Are they 18's. I'm not sure from the mainly rear views of the gap. My car looks something like that in the rear with 19's. But, I'm about 70 lbs lighter than most in the rear.

Yes these are 18's... I was afraid of going with 19's because I did not want the ride quality to suffer. I hate being so indecisive... I might still try some 19's though. Maybe sell these on Ebay? I do like the chrome look. They have a 2.5' front lip and 3" rear lip.
I value all of your opinions, however in the end it is a personal choice. Thanks all!

Outstanding, really sharp and personalized IMO. I love that we all like different things. With PS2s I would think u could safely go to 19" and still be happy with ride, BOTOH these look great
