New Wheels
Last week I purchased a set of tires and wheels from a fellow forum member and just got them mounted. I changed style and also went from stock 17 and 18's to these RUFF 18 and 19's. Personally I like the look of the wheels but the jury is still out of whether I like the up size. Was my $1100 investment worth it? ps. the wheels and tires had 4 months (less than 4000 miles use on them)

By far 18"/19" combo is the best way to go - looks way better
Thanks,Matt
