I like this car; but agree with above...19s look big and these are "big looking" 19s, with the poke and stretch it's kind of nuts. I think with 18s or 19s with a lip and less stretch it'd be crazy. Love the BBK.

Why BBK? With heavy ass wheels like those the rotating mass would probably slow down the car faster than stock lol. Sorry not my cup of tea, 19's look way to big for this car imo.

damn fools be hatin cause they can't afford nice stuff right out of the jump. why hate on a nice looking car? i know its your opinon but if you have a bigger wheel it will take longer to stop if you do not have a BBK. i guess stick to your stock wheel and tire combo and have a GOOD DAY SIR |

Hey Tyler,
I agree with you, they are on the big side and the tire side would be more amicable with 18's. Wanted to try something different, 18's will be on the car in a couple of weeks. Quote:

That wheel design looks awesome on this car. A little to much stretch for my taste though.

I didn't know Rotora was still in business. Did you get your bbk from their location here in Socal (IE) or did you get thru a distributor?
