Ummmm worst angle to show Rimms ever... and I love your rims Tom. Damn I have better piccs of them then this...

dont listen toi that bullshit about rims slowin u down. i ran 12.7 on 18's with a 1.7 60ft in my 95 tsi awd without a prob and after the 19's on my gf's car we didnt notice any differnet. youd be surprised, the stock 95 16"s are like 22-25 lbs and my gf's 19's are like 23-24 lbs so weight isnt changing. and the size isnt really diff cuz even though the rim is 2" bigger the tire sidewall is smaller, so it evens out

I don't really care even if they did slow me down a bit, I love them. The only real reason people will ever say anythign negative to you about your 19s is that they can't afford anything other than their ugly stockers (that weigh much less and make your car so much faster....) and they are jealous. Word up to the 19" owners!

hmmmmmmm, i like to "play" and anything over a 17 and you start losing you tire "roll" and they are a bit heavier and yes, more expensive. i feel my 17's look just as good than a set of 19's if not better.

reasons to pass on 19's-
heavier
less straight line bite
more expensive

reasons to-
BLING BLING

1st off, nobody asked you. The original question was: "19" Rims
Anyone have 19" rims? do you have any problems or can you send me a pic. Also is there any space between the wheel well and the tire?"

Since you don't own 19" rims, your post has no place in this thread. Thanks for your opinion though, it's always nice to hear

I believe Tom already hit on these types of comments above....

Hey, yes I have stock Rims, stock 17''GSX rims are the only upgrade from the dreaded 14''s I could afford now... They aren't stock to me I had to pay for them after market, and yes they are a lot heavier then the 14''s but theres a thing called WHEELGAP its fugly. I tried to get rid of as much as I could afford, without affecting the ride. I cant afford much more, I'm tryna go turbo ya know

I Love 19''s I just dont have the $ for em. When I do have $ for rims 17''s maybe 18''s is more then enough for me, but those guys who go for the 19''s get no hate from me, 2Gs have too much wheel gap

 

[trig21turbo]

Yeah I'm probably gonna get those 19s just can't find my wheels i heard they have been discontinued anyone wanna sell theirs?

HOW MUCH MORE STUPIDITY CAN U FIT IN ONE THREAD. 1T OF ALL THE SMALLER SIDEWALL U HAVE THE STIFFER AND THE EASIER IT IS TO GET THE CAR SPINNING AROUND IN CIRCLES., I DONT KNOW IF U CAN HANDLE THAT MUCH PLAY BUT FYI, MY GFS CAR IN A WET PARKING LOT WITH THE 19'S ON DOES STAND STILL DONUTS ALL DAY. WITH THE 17'S ON WITH 215/55/17 (STOCK) THE CAR REFUSES TO DO IT CUZ THE SIDEWALL FOLDS OVER INSTEAD OF LOSING TRACTION.

AS FOR THE ASS BACKWARDS STATEMENT OV HEAVIER. DID U EVER WEIGH STOCK 95 GSX/TSI RIMS??? OR UR STOCK RIMS??? OR 19'S??? WELL AGAIN FOR UR INFO MY GF'S 19'S WEIGH IN AT 23.7 LBS EACH WHILE STOCK 95 AWD RIMS WEIGH ABOUT 24. SO THERE GOES THAT STATEMENT.

LESS STRAIGH LINE BITE???? WHAT IS WRONG WITH U??? U DO SACRIFCE THE SIDEWALL HEIGHT I AGREE BUT U GAINE IN CONTACT PATCH AND AREA. UR 16X6.5 RIMS ARENT AS WIDE AS MY GF'S 19X7.5. WITH 225/35 SHE HAS MORE TIRE TOUCHING THE GROUND THEN YOU DO. AS FOR TRACTION I CAN BELIEVE YOUR BREAKING ALL 4 LOOSE UNLESS U HAVE 205 SERIES TIRES. WITH 225 ON PRETTY MUCH ANY RIM IF U KNOW HOW TO LAUNCH RIGHT AND U HAVE AN LSD REAR U SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUT 1.7 AND 1.6 60FT TIMES NO PRBLEM UNLESS UR MAKING OVER 400 WHP WHICH I DOUBT CONSIDERING YOUR 20G POWERED 1G WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE 11'S IS SLOWER THEN YOUR 13.3 WS6 (STOCK)

EXPENSE-YES TIRES ARE MONEY BUT MY GF'S RIMS WERE ONLY 600$ TIRES WERE 720$ SO FOR 1320$ UC ANT GO WRONG. MOST PEOPLE SPEND THAT MUCH ON 18'S EASILY AND SOMETIMES NICE 17'S GO FOR THAT.

LIKE DCS SAID THIS THREAD IS ABOUT 19" RIMS WHICH YOU DONT HAVE. YOU HAVE AN UGLY 1G WITH 17'S SO WHY DID YOU EVEN ENTER THIS THREAD? MAYBE TO SEE THINGS YOU CANT HAVE??? 19'S ON 2G'S IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.
MY GF HAS 17'S FOR WINTER RIMS BUDDY, SO DONT TALK SHIT UNLESS YOU CAN KEEP UP. WHAT YOU USE FOR SUMMER SHE USES AT WINTER RIMS. STOP HATIN AND UNLESS U HAVE SUMTHIN USEFUL TO SAY KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

[trig21turbo]

MAN I GOT TO SAY GSXSTAC REALLY PUT IT DOWN IN SEQUENCE LASHING THAT 19" RIM WANNA HAVE, MAN YOU DID A GOOD JOB YOUR NOT PRACTICING LAW ARE YOU? I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ALWAYS WANNA PUT THEMSELVES DOWN WITH STUPID COMMENTS LIKE THAT, OBVIOUSLY HE CAN'T OFFORD EM.

 

[gsxstac]

i hate when people say shit without anything to back it up, if your gonna hate on someone else then do it with reason and make your comments are legitimate. i'm only 19 years old i see all these morons makin comments talkin shit about people every day on this site. i wish i had 10 hands and 4 brains and i would respond to all of them.

 

[!^3]

Mmmmmmmm, hate on...and just for the record I can break all four loose in the dry launching at 6500rpm/20psi. I don't think smaller wheels will help me

[Jamie96Eclipse]

i could tell u they wont spinners...but then id be lying

[DCsGST]

Why?

 

[bOOstd GSX]

guys cmon, he gets ragged on everytime he posts. he likes bling. did you pay for them? then dont flame. there better than 14 inch pep boys rims

 

[Tom Sawyer]

I would have no problem with his spinners, however, he installed a urethane body kit and didn't get it painted. Then instead of taking it to get that done, he bought $4000 rims and tires. Spinners don't get that "oh damn that car is hawt" effect if your body kit is unpainted playa.

also very true, drop the car and paint the kit and it would be pretty tight if there is one thign you do, dont put and stickers on the car after you paint it, it would be way too much for the car, spinners are enough. keep it simple and clean.

 

[Jamie96Eclipse]

well...the paint is comin soon!! and after the paint, i plan on gettin new rims. Either 20s or some more Spinners
