Do they make those same rims in a 18in's?
Also Thugg_out what lower kit and springs did you use?

Lee what's your email address for prices?
Are spacers needed for the CL rim?
Here's a linK... I think these are the same rim (one piece but in 18in)

What part of LA are you guys in? I'm in Han**** Park. Ran into CLK 69 on the road the other day, which was pretty cool. I think he lives in Beverly Hills.

Why does this happen? the weight of the rims?

yea the weight is the factor. I'm not really sure how much my 19's weight, but im sure they are heafvier than stock 17's. the stock 17 wheel with tire is about 40 lb's. i'll measure the weight of the 19 with tire and i'll post it.

the diameter is definaitely more... cause when i had 17's on, i could easily put my hand between the tire and fender. Now that i havw 18's, i cant put my hand there anymore.

This happens for 2 reasons. First, with a heavier a wheel, it requires more force to start or stop them. Second, when you switch to a larger diameter wheel, even though you change to a shorter tire, the diameter does increase. It is not much, but you can definitely notice the difference if you looked at a 17 w/ tire and a 19 w/ tire at the same time (This is one of the reasons why 20" wheels will not fit). With the larger diamter, comes more surface area, and thus more force is required to begin rotation.
