Agreed. I have the 18" version and kinda wish I would have got the 19". What all needs to be done when going from 18" to 19" other than changing out the wheels? Adjustment for speedo?

Nada, so long as you keep the OEM tire size on them as they are about the same diameter as the stock 18's.

I like the 18" version too. I loved the 19, but not enough to pay the $1000 extra for them. Then Lo & behold my car was optioned exactly as I wanted (but had the 19s) and was available, so went ahead and got my car with them. LOOOVE them!

Also, before you take the plunge - compare the tire prices for the 18s and 19s to make sure you are OK with that extra cost, and also to scope which tires are available in that size. I was relived to see the OEM Pirellis can be bought from Tire Rack in the stock 245/45-19 size for $178. Some people have a heart attack over one tire costing that much, but I spent more per tire for the Michelins on my Accord.

What turned me off the Brembo was being surprised by the selection and HIGH price of tires that are available in the 255/40-19 size. (mostly $250 to $400 apiece, and mostly summer tires, so say hello to fast-wearing). Good grief, I have kids to raise!

Has anyone ever seen a modern version of the old Keystone Klassic wheel? I LOVED those when I was in high school in the '70s and never see them any more. I think it might look good on our cars, but am not sure.

Dude gave me a price of over 400 a piece for the stock 18' Pirellis. I proceeded to chuckle to myself as I walked out the door.

I have some premium luster 19's on ebay right now. I have them listed for $700, but I am willing to listen to offers. These are in great shape, with one wheel having a very slight rash on the rim outer lip. This does not include tires or the TPS units. If anyone is interested just let me know.

More than I would pay for those. If I needed them maybe but it's one of those want things. Out of curiosity why did you pay the extra to upgrade to 19s and then buy aftermarket?

Didnt pay extra to get them, they came on the car, and when i got my car it wasnt like there fleets them on the lots. Just changed my mind about em, certain angle i think these wheels look nice, but overall not wide enough.
