I'm shocked at how good the 18s looked on your car when everyone says they don't go we'll on our cars. What's the reasoning to go to 19s now instead of sticking with the 18s

if you're still deciding between f14s and ccw,

here's some motivation to be a little different, especially on that BWP of yours.

18s did fit perfectly for me! i loved the stance, there really isnt a motive to going up to 19s besides the fact that ill be roughly a couple inches higher, and those inches makes a big difference to me to be able to drive normally.. being as slammed as i am, it was pretty rough banging up the bottom of my car, the whole little plastic gaurd thingy under my car protecting the pulleys and keeping the dust out the engine bay got ripped out the other day haha, so im naked underneath.. dont know how bad that is for me but never have the time to go get it replaced. I currently still do have the 18s, i dont ride on them as of right now because i just dont want to wear down the tires anymore so i can sell them, even though the camber wear is all over the place, and i had them flipped already for fresh meat. but hey the less the better. I currently have an offer from someone with the same exact set of wheels but in 19x9.5 all around in a full polish, and as of right now im debating whether i want cash up front or go ahead, take the 19s and ride on them for a little bit and then flip it for more cash, which i do think people would pay more for 19s rather than 18s. straight trade btw, i just have to pump a full tank for him since hes doing a 6 hour drive to trade with me, cause im a lazy ass and dont wanna sit in my car for 3hrs to meet half way ahah.

...... oh my god. that is perf.. dont get me wrong for what i said up there, new set i WILL be sticking to 18s! Someones gotta keep the streets clean around here I got the street sweeper if someone needs their street cleaned! But till then i need to get rid of my old wheels before i can start to narrow down what i want, but because of this picture.. im leaning towards the ccws.

its kind of not a good moment to get meisters. Everyone seems to be picking up a set lately. You might want it to die down a bit before picking up a set.

Tell me about it. Not sure if its fixable lol! There's like.. Dents? On both sides due to not having enough clearance.. So tires rubbed, ima try and get them fixed so my car will not look so banged up. Don't even know how you guy can see it! Must be that bad..

Lets work something out! They can be yours! They have 235/40s, and work done? Nothing honestly. I just have the typical, fender roll. Still running all stock camber, so if you have your fenders already rolled, you should be good To go!

I highly doubt he'd be able to run a +22 9.5 inch wide wheel in the front without any fender mods. Not to mention +12 9.5 in the rear without cutting the bumper tab etc. Look at ttk's old setup on his purple wheels.

I've seen his build thread, I mean I did have these wheels on and had no problem running them, maybe my fenders are a bit more worn than his allowing me to clear em. Just going with how my car ran them!
