I'll stop by! I'm actually a fan of the FY14 19" Forgestar perhaps in gunmetal grey so you carry those or can you order them? I think gun metal 19's F14's on my peuter car would look awesome!

Let me know OK?

Thanks.

one car at a time
Not sure why you want 19s as your sidewall will be crazy low - worse for ride quality and if you hit a bump or pothole, you'll likely destroy a rim....I know I have beat this horse to death, sorry...

AKnight - sell me your 18s and then you can get 19s

19's look better and we have nice roads out here in Pheonix so it's alright.

Alex and I are working something out. Hopefully we can post some nice pictures one day!

Yes our roads here in AZ are like the German Autobahn, wonderfully smoothe, new, mostly straight. This is why you should all move to AZ by the way. 3 hot months but 9 GORGEOUS months which is other reason Phoenix is one of the fastest growing cities in America.

Talk soon Arsha!

By May, you're in the 90s, then June, July, August, and September are scorchers. October is similar to May. I'd say five months of hell

I grew up in Scottsdale...

You must not remember it well.

90's in May and October with no humidity is a wonderful thing. Feels like low 80's.

I lived in NYC for 23 years before locating out here. I can deal with the half of June, July, August, and half of September that it's above 100 if you give me the 9 months of 95 and below. Everytime I go back to NYC and it's humid I want to kill myself. Even if the place is airconditioned it feels like a swamp.
