There is a big difference in the way it drives when compared to the stock Michelins. The car grips a lot better and accelerates quicker. You would think the 19s would be much heavier than the 17s but they're really not.

Love it! I'm biased to your wheel selection though...

I originally wanted the dark gray color but the preorder I took over was in LR.
