I just got these 19" wheels for my winter setup but I don't know what I should do...

Keep them or buy the other M3-style wheel in 18"?

it'll perform best.... unless you're planning on running a really skinny 18... the thinner the better

jpsimon · 10-07-2008, 04:23 PM

are you MartinS from nasioc? there is someone over there with the same name

remmib · 10-07-2008, 04:42 PM

Why are you thinking about changing them for 18s??
Those looks like an awesome winter set up, and I guess the winter in Denmark isn't that snowy.

We do get a bit of snow actually.. but nothing near where you're from :-)

The 19's look great btw, Martin.

Actually, where I live, south-west coast of Norway, we get the least amount of snow in the whole country, I think.

I like the color of the 19's

iheartsole · 10-07-2008, 05:39 PM

19" look nice

Hoothout · 10-07-2008, 06:36 PM

Kev · 10-07-2008, 07:50 PM

19s are fine. They look nicer than the 18s anyways

im spencer · 10-07-2008, 07:52 PM

I like the pattern on the 18's better never been a fan of the m3 scheme for the 19" design

ohhh i have to disagree with that, i saw 19's in person and they were AIGHT, but when i saw the 18's in the morning while going to skool, ohhhh that was a whole different story, i freaking woke up instantly and gave the MB m3 driver big

and he floored it for me

i think IMHO that 18's are just a PERFECT size and look for winter, besides they are dark color and will not make it so noticeable that they are dirty.

montreal red · 10-07-2008, 09:40 PM

you want to use the 19s for winter? i dont suggest it... its not worth paying so much for 19" winter tires... just keep the 19s for summer and use 17s or something for winter... that way you dont have to buy really expensive winter tires.

JoeyFiasco · 10-12-2008, 05:03 PM

i would keep the 19s, they look better imo
