19">18" Pros/Cons

49erZ · 10-16-2011, 02:01 PM

Heard the ride is bumpier on the 19"s. Debating between , powder coating the oem black, getting some 18"s on the og tires or all out 19"s. Opinions are more than welcomed. Also any recommendations on all black wheels, BBS or BBS like with a decent lip.

Thanks y'all

Riding on 19"s is not that bad at all.

I had 19's on my car and went to 20's now you want to talk about harsh.

Imho 18 is too small for the Z unless for race application.

what are your plans for the car?

ride with 19s is not really much rougher than with 18s, though it depends which tires you run.

Which BBS look are you after?

Havent singled out a single wheel for the BBS, just know I'd like a lip and all black wheel.

I plan to make it a clean, blacked out, towards showmore than performance.

Did you drop yours Corbin?

19s = heavier, more noise, more expensive, but looks better.
