Hi,
I have the 19' rims and have done just under 4000k's in the car since november. The ride is firm and it's great when you put the boot in- the car just sticks on corners with no tyre squeal. Daily driving can be a bit jarring at times (F'ing crap australian roads + RFT sidewalls) and scuttles and jumps over linear bumps (bridge expansion joints, tram tracks etc). But did I mention that they look awesome (I'll try and get some pics in the next few days- I'm pretty busy)? Don't forget to factor in the replacement price of 19' RFTs- massive. I'm thinking of getting a mobility kit and non RFT's when they wear out. Cheaper, softer ride without handling/ cornering compromise and more tyre choices.

Good luck with your order.
