Had the wheels I've been waiting on for ages fitted today.

The tyres are non-runflat continentals. The ride and road noise is about the same -not been very far yet though.

The car IMHO looks better but only terms of the rear 275's and 19". I did like the 135's but I prefer the bigger wheels which seem to fill the arches better.

Very nice looking, especially with the Silver exterior. And you are right, the 19" wheels do look better than 18".

Thats looks spectacular. I love them. Never saw them before. Very nice. Enjoy them. Watch out for the curbs. They look like they stick out a little bit.

Great lookin' rims, but looks like you'll need dental floss to clean them properly.
