for the guys running 19s already, is this a good idea? I want to go 19s but too worried about the current road conditions were face everyday!!
Located in central jersey & i usually travel the turnpike & parkway to/from work... What do you all think & how are your rims holding up so far ?? peace

actually i avoid them like the plague.. Even with my stock 17s.. I used to drive a slammed civic with 17s & 40series tires so i am used to swerving around the road to dodge crap...
just worried about those unavoidable obstacles, road plates etc

i have 19's and i love em shure the roads in nj suck but when your car and wheels are clean and you pull up to a crowd of people of a bunch of girls the look on their faces says it all. i say go with the 19's and dont look back

had 19" for a while, with no problems
How about 19's in NYC on 3 piece rims with a fat lip slammed?
2 Weeks and they were dead.

how did u bull that off..ive been around nyc on 22s with 30series tire..and havent bent anything..Rule number 1..AVIOD POTHOLES! fenders can be replaced...haah
Well that was with my A4, and I dont know. I curbed one rim in two weeks, then the temper took over and after a while stopped giving a shit. I havent attempted rims with my S4 yet.
