$300 Rim vs $1300 Rim

if u were to buy 19", i'd rather go 20".. it will feel the same.

i dont understand why ppl think 20" will be uncomfortable.. when i had 18's it felt the same right now with 20's.

and a passat isnt a small car either.. so 20" is a decent size LOL

I don't uinderstand why people think going as big as possible is cool.

coz it looks better.. if ur goin 19's, why not go 20? it might look weird on a golf or polo.. but a passat is huge

19's ride quality is good man. i have a set of 19's on my golf, i had no problem with the ride quality lowered 40mm....yes its firmer but thats what you just expect. it just all depends how low you go. mine is currently 85mm at the rear. ride quality is crap...thats obvious. if your going 25mm on 19's you have nothing to worry about. as 1DUB2C said go even 20's but if you wanna place it safe stick with the 19's

bigger IS better...

my ride quality on my 18s were great, and the 19th equally as good with a bit more adjustment on the coilovers..

tyres also make a difference to your ride quality, nankang/wanli/Liiinnloonngg nor sooo good for ride quality/tyre noise.

but maybe thats another thread, is a under $150 nankang better then a toyo, michelin or pirelli tyre thats worth over $250+ a corner? ... lol

I've always been told buy the best that you can afford. That said, heavy wheels can speed up wear on your car, as its different mass to just putting a bag of concrete in the boot.

I didn realise you could get such large rims so cheap tho, guess thats why there are so many Rodeos with big stupid wheels on them.

1.tell youre unsurance company
2.be aware that legally you may need an engineers report/certificate
3.it really sucks when they void youre policy after an accident especially if youre at fault and youve just smacked into a bentley or similar (traffic lights can cost $200k)
4.cool wheels though!
