I did. These weighed 56.5 lbs for the rears - wheel & tire.

You pay for the 19" bling with added weight. They were almost 10 lbs heavier than my BBS 18's w/ 295's.

I have the same size...315's and they are friggin huge.
Again, the actual performance hit ain't that great esp on the street. Negligible, but the overall aesthetic enhancement is... immeasurable.

If I did put this set up for sale, I wouldn't even know what to replace it with. These are killer and hard to get.

Good luck man and thx for sharing.

GAME OVER. the thing you guys can't appreciate is the look when it's moving. the rear looks insane!

yep, i think these look much better.

GO WHERE? we all drive our cars on the street 95% of the time and if we do go to the track we all know our stocks are better for that.

im I going to be doing over 90mph on my local hwy or street? NO
im I going to be out cornering that guy in the Zo6 on my local off ramp? NO
im I going to be racing or auto crossing my 911 while going to my grocery store or to a restaurant this weekend? NO

FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS DRIVE STOCK!

come guys, open your eyes a little bit. Looking good is just as important, unless im talking to a bunch of married guys (OUCH)

Agreed I dont run stock, but that does not mean I need to run heavy metal to look good. 19lbs of show and go

i think you will turn your upside down to if ever we do a nice lil canyon/mtn roads run and realize dude that car is as fast as mine if not faster.

not sure what you're reading, but i've been stating pretty clearly the performance hit is negligible. and neither of us would run our 19s on the auto-x/track day anyways.

Man! For once it would be nice to get something for nothing. Can't stop looking at 19's but the nerd in me keeps saying "just say no". I feel like lawrence in Animal House.

Wait.... you mean I'm NOT supposed to drive like this on public streets???


I don't think you'll find the "average" married guy here at the 6.
I'd say members here have a tendency to not settle for less
