Question Should I sell my wheels?

MODS, THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE AD. IT IS A POLL

What do you guys think? Sell the 19" wheels and cruise on stockers to save up some bucks? Please answer the poll

19s dont look back!
If tire prices are holding you back, buy some Nankangs or Kuhmos.

I rolled on lots of Nankangs before I bought sum Yokohamas!

I agree with William i'm about to dust off my gear and snatd on the corner too cuz with this economy thats only way to make some cheese. but on a seriouse note, i've ran 16s, 17s, 18, and 19s, and as expensive as tires are i wont go back to even 18s. i've actually been fighting myself to go to the BBS CH-Rs but i can only find them in 18s but i know it just wouldnt look as good, although for 19s we are sacraficing the ride quality and cash. i also have been running on nankangs and nexens and maybeits just me but i love them.

My final Advice: BUY GHOSTRIDER"S CAMBER KIT. before i bought 3 sets of tires a year and now ive been running on the same ones for the past year and 1 month and still going!

+1. If I went by this rule I'd be driving my Aston now, not waiting for another two years...

Manwhore+19's= thirsty and driving in style.

KEEP IT!!!! Put it this way.. if you sell these to clear the debt, you will be itchin for new set of rims which will set a higher debt! not to mention your car has a more updated look with the 19's rather than 17's. I think you will definitely regret it.. STAY CLEAN!

For real! for traction too, our tires are small enough as it is. ran 2 runs against a c5 corvette today he seemed to have problems getting the power to the floor all i can hear is his tires squeal (my PS2 don't squeal) was an easy walk both times... what the hell?

You all make good points! I would miss them badly. Torn....however, I don't have any decent offers yet. No offers makes it an easy decision so far!
