Question thinking about new wheels (poll)

currently i am running kinesis f110s 19" with pss-9 set at 3 and 4.

been thinking about going back to 18" for these reasons:

better handling

better ride

and basically something different

need some input and trying to go used to keep cost down

let me know what you think

btw, if none of the above options then say what you'd do.

Forget 'sport technos'. They don't come in 8x18 so you'd run
a smaller tire and use a spacer.

I don't think your ride is going to improve drastically. The suspension you're running has more to do with that. You're the first person I've seen that wants to switch BACK to factory rims. BuddyG's car looks great lowered with twists.

thought that you would go back to feeling 19"s are the right way to go

just that I have these rims sitting in the garage gathering dust. Maybe i'll get someone to turn them into a piece of furniture like a coffee table.
