19" wheels
Anyone got 19' wheels on the C coupe? Does it rub? I am planning to install H&R springs and was wondering if it rub or if it even fits? Any suggestions would help.

There was a thread last week started by a guy named Calvin...I think the pics he posted were of his new 19"s. Great looking rims. Another member Wong_Edan has 19" LD1s and lowered and cut Eibach springs. He had to get his fenders rolled.

I think 19's may be a little big for everyday rims but they will look good. Me personally I wouldnt go any bigger than 18's. The roads around here are crap and I would get a messed up rim within 2 weeks.

I agree...19" are too big.
I guess if you want looks and possible damage to the wheels, 19" will work for you. I personally think 17" are just fine. Many issues against bigger wheels, including theft, possible damage, and less economical with fuel, plus the cost of tires and wheels. But it's your car. And everyone has their own style.

everyone without the 19's will tell you not to get them. i have a set of 19's and love them, granted its a sedan and not a coupe. but even if i would have got a coupe, i still would have put 19's on it. personally, i think that rims should be your first mod. rolling factory is just weak. heres a pic of my 19's, lowered with h&r springs.

Nice; where did you get the Carlsson chrome quad-pipe exhaust? How much? It seems no one in SoCal has ordered one, and I can't find a place that knows what I'm talking about.
