Does anyone here have photos of your car with the stock 19" wheels and 18" replacements? I'm curious just how different the car looks with 18" wheels.

When my stock rubber wears out I'd like new wheels and street tires and am considering going 18". I'd really like to see what the same car looks like with 18" vs. 19" wheels.

Thanks.

 

Here is my car with the new AMR 18inch Shelby Wheels. I like the look. I also like the ride with a bit more sidewall.

 

Wheels are a personal choice. I prefer 18" for ride quality, cost and availability different brands and types of tires. Both stock sizes have the same (or very close) diameter so ride height is the same. I do not like the look of the 19" tire where it meets the rim, nor do I like the small distance of the tire from the rim to the road. The 19" wheel and summer only tires is the reason I did not order the Track Pack. If I already had 19's and was ready and thinking of different wheels I would switch to 18" and have the best of both.

 

Dean, what tires are you running?

 

I'll have to check for you. Pretty sure it's a 285/40 in the back, and a 245/45 in the front. Nitto Extreme.

Been very impressed with the ride/traction so far. I can't believe how much quieter it is compared to those loud Pirellis.

I think the combo looks really good, esp. with a performance white car. Also, after another set of tires, the wheels are more than paid for in the price difference between the 18s and the 19s, tire wise.

I don't like that I couldn't just put in the factory centers in the new wheels. That's doesn't make me happy.

 

Yes, those wheels look great on your car Dean.

If anyone else has photos I'd appreciate seeing more 18's.

Very happy with Nitto 555 extremes for autocross and DD.
