Can someone please tell me what size these are? I'm guessing 19s, can someone please confirm

Hmmm tricky one!!!
By the tyre profile width they look like 18's but when you look at the whole pic the wheels look too big for 18's
Here are my 19's with 225/35/19 tyres. The profile looks a little lower on mine...I think. :laugh:

Thanks. :happy2:
How did you find moving up to 19s with regards to handling etc?
-
Never looked back mate. :happy2:
The key here is Quality tyres. :wink:
The difference in ride quality is minor, and is quickly forgotten. I suppose its like when you go from Standard Springs to Lowering Springs like H&Rs or Eibachs.
More and more cars are being sold straight from the Factory with 19's now. Tyres prices are dropping just like the 18's did.
You can bet in the next few years a lot more New cars will be rolling out on 20's. :smiley:

I currently have standard 17s on at the moment and thought a jump to 19s would be big one in terms of weight etc. you've put my mind at rest however.

The first pic looks like 18's to me.
-
They look like VZ's to me and don't they only come in 18's?

CH has Motorsport printed on them

19" CH's for comparison :happy2:
235/35/19 tyres so the profile will be slightly higher than Monte's
