Managed to kerb two about 200 miles after I fitted them, but apart from that they don't have any contact issues so far.
I've had the two I clipped refurbished now and bought slightly wider tyres (Conti 3, 235 35s) to protect them a little better. The 235s don't actually look wider than the 225 Falkens that were on the wheels when I bought them though! The nearly new Falkens will be heading for ebay soon.

Were I to buy a set new I'd go for 18s though. 19s are awfully prone to damage.

I'm currently debating between 18s and 19s for whatever I buy now. 19s are hard to take care of but they look so good under the arch!
