CURBBBBAGE!!!!!! Makes me cringe.

So what makes you think 17's would have made a difference......if anything it would have been worse since the smaller diameter would have given it more lip distance to be curbed in the same amount time of the 18's. WTH did I just say?

Oh well....sorry to hear about it. Time to call Velox.

I'm going with 17's myself. I do way too much parallel parking on the street to have to worry about marking up my lip. I also drive on some crappy roads in my neighborhood.

it does seem to be an issue w/ imagestation, I can't access my own albums for some weird reason w/o logging in (and they are open to the public)

i have konig 19's on the "B" but the ride sucked. I've taken them off and will only use it for shows. Currently looking into some 17's for a good daily driven ride.

I listened to my TSW colleagues and went with 5zigen 16" and Kumho ESCTA SUPRA tires. The ride and traction is superb and I don't have to worry about curb height and ride-ability. Just my two cents.

What tire size do you have on the 16"? It seems that 195 50 16 should be the best size.
