    who went from 20" to 19" ?

    should be perfect compromise between comfort of 18s and proper look car has with 20s. At 1" difference I suspect that color and design itself will be more important in the final look than actual size....0.5" taller tire should be enough for a more comfy ride .....I think? Any thoughts appreciated

    Anyone has 1st gen RX8 wheels on?

    Between wider rim and bigger offset they are almost identical in terms of fitment. ..I wouldn't mind something sticking out more but deal is good. Not crazy about the look but will do for winter set up. Anyone can share some pictures? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
