Importantly and OT though. Any chance of seeing some pics with the 19's on?
 
This is why I'm in two minds about getting mine replaced/refirb'd, I'm a careful driver ;) most of the time, but accidents happen, usually taking avoiding action to get out of the way of some other idiot.

Although if we went through life thinking "what if" we'd never get anything done would we!

Right, that helped to clear my mind, I'm getting them done.

This Forum's a great form of Therapy!
 
well to be honest im a ghey driver. i drive like a prat, always kerbing when parking etc. serves me right, im alot more careful after 11am today :) i'll try and get pics up for tomorow. one trouble is that my car looks sky high, hoping to get an airbag system on it :)

wheels - Spin 19's 8j
tyres - Toyo Parada 225/35 88Y

ride i find is smoother and more floaty than with my 16's with 55 profiles lol but when i hit a bump its bit worse but i much prefer the ride on the 19's. and it looks ghetto :)
 
but they do have a tendency to tram line! can somebody tell me the reason why?

It's been covered in your brakes thread. Basically wider and stiffer tyres.

Try Laptab in B'rum for refinishing the wheel.
