19" wheels
Nice wheels btw...
I'm planning on buying 19" wheels this weekend and I was wonder how you like the ride.
Does it ride rough? also, what type of suspension are you using? Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i am running Eibach Prokit springs, so the drop is like an inch all around...I plan on going with the Sportline eibach kit soon to drop it another 1/2 inch all around....The 19" Tarmacs have already been replaced with a set of 18s....the 19s were just too much wheel, the car literally looked like a Hot Wheels car....the handling was too stiff with the 19s as well, plus the weight of the 19s I felt overpowered the stock shock/Eibach spring combo and the handling became sloppy....so yeah, I'd go with 18s if i were you...

I've always liked red cars with White wheels. Looks great!
What front lip are you running?
I've got a 15 2G, just like yours in red, running the TRD 19's in black but I upped the tire size to a 245/35r19. Fills the wells out a little more. I'm running the TRD springs with stock shocks and I like the way she rides, but everyone is a little different in what they are looking for.
