It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I drive my car with my knee all the time. On freeways too. Hehe. But yea, when you hit a bump or something, u can mean feel the hit. Thin tires makes u think you gonna mess up ur suspension when u here the hits.

Well i just put on 18" Wolfrace Luna D's 225/40. I think they look sweeet!! I wasnt sure whether 17 or 18.. but now I see them on my car... i cant stop staring!! LOVIN them 18s!

Made a trip down to London, about 260 miles, sweet ride, 95mph on the motorway, stuck like glue to the road no probs with bumps or potholes... but then the roads in the UK are well maintained

Oh and I managed to eat my lunch while driving with my knee and one hand. I will post a pic and see what you think.

And they werent exactly cheap in the UK, but I got a nice deal.

So I guess 19x8.5 all around are out of the question.

I have 17 now and was thinking of going bigger I think the rides in the picture gallery with 17 look good.

I was thinking of getting 18's but then i thought i would save some money by getting 17's then i would lower my car so i have a good ride and the sweet droped look that i was looking for. That is what i suggest.
