Ride Comfort: Moving from 18" to 19"

Steering was noticeably changed, mostly because it is like putting your base rear tires on the front of the car ( moving up from 225 to 245 ) so a bigger contact patch. Not bad, just noticeable.


I have always liked smaller rims and did not want to like 19'' wheels, but the Z looks good with them.
