18's are too big, why 19's?
Go for it if you want to look like teh tru3 r1c3r!111
or destroy your handling/braking/acceleration by adding heavy-as-hell wheels.

i dont see what the issue is here many ppl have put 18's on their cars and had no problems with lots of room to spare a 19 will surely fit.....and about the wheels being heavy as hell....why not just get light weight forged wheels.....in some cases you could get a 19 with tires that weights less then the stock tires and wheels
i say go for it

You can do that and waste ALOT more money on wheels that are too big for the carDavid Witherow wrote:i dont see what the issue is here many ppl have put 18's on their cars and had no problems with lots of room to spare a 19 will surely fit.....and about the wheels being heavy as hell....why not just get light weight forged wheels.....in some cases you could get a 19 with tires that weights less then the stock tires and wheels

Not only that, you better have a alarm and other stuff because theifs will look at you car as a $3,000 dollar score (light weight 19 inch rims alone)
So go ahead, destroy your handling and since they are bigger rims, your braking WILL SUCK
Dont forget, your rims are now most likely to get bent

Not too mention that wheels that big look fugly on a small car.. just my opinion.. but whenever I see a small car with huge wheels.. I cant help but think it looks much like a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car. Which is fine if you are into that.. but I think it looks dorky LOL

find me a 19" wheel & tire combo in 4x100mm that weighs less than my stock 32lb 15's and i'll give you 100 dollars. YOU WONT! you probably won't find one under 40 lbs.
32 vs 40+ lbs? thats a VERY SIGNIFICANT difference and will be noticeable.
If bling blingin down the road is worth the performance decrease then go for it. It ur car & money & choice.

Haha, exactly!quicksliver wrote:19" rims + MX3 = GAY
You ever seen those Honda CRX's with oversized rims? They look RETARTED. Id' say 17" is perfect, 18" is decent, 19" is insanely gay.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Let's face it - if someone is THAT into performance that they'll worry about a 32 lb difference in overall weight, they're not driving an MX-3.
