i think 19s look better

19 look the danglies but will be a very harsh ride. 18's better road feel not such a bone rattling ride

19's look much better IMO but you have to take into consideration running costs as the price of tyres are much higher than 18's .. plus damn sight easier to kerb.. but they do look the muts nuts..not an easy decision

do you think 18's will "fill" the arches? any pics of zeds with 18's would be great at this point

 

 

thanks

They are 19,s in my sig , borrowed while i got mine re-furbed , did,nt notice much difference in ride quality compared to the seventeens i use.

They look the cats conkers on :dance: :dance:

Gotta start saving :headvswal

The overall rolling diameter will be very little different between the standard 16's and 18's or 19's. You just have less tyrewall with larger wheels. If you want to 'fill' the arches then you need to lower the suspension.

its on coilovers so i can play about with it just dont wanna spend the cash on 18's n wish i got 19's :O

prob will go 18's for the cheaper tyre in long run tho i think......

The large majority of zed's in the rides section are on 18's. Take a pick ;)

Mine are currently 17"

Here's a set of 19's for ya.. :dance: Needs lowering yet!

 

gunna go with 18's too little difference to go for extra running costs of 19 i think :P

18s for sure

18s seem pretty good to me, im not a big fan of the super-skinny tyres you need on 19's

18" for go cars, 19" for show cars :D

18's on mine, and it is lowered about 30mm

18" and lower it... 19's Looks ace but will gear up your car too much and it will handle like poo, you still need a decent amount of tyre on your wheel else you'll end up skipping over every bump and a standard Z on 16" wheels, tyres and standard suspension will pi55 all over you handling wise... ;)

well i am going to compromise i think and go with 18's, yes 19's might look better but i brought this primaraly as a sports car :P

17's are a lovely ride thats what I have.

Just as a matter of interest what tyres should you fit on 18s

18s for sure

 

Agreed here :bow:

 

Best compromise between ride and looks. More practical too as these cars eat tyres and 18s are much easier on the pocket to replace.

Well mine handles like a dream on 19's, but have to watch out with the kerbs, pot holes which are the worst.
