The wheels are 18", sorry! The 19's looked almost the same, except felt much worse when driving around...

Check this pic with the 19's, quite huge:

YYyyaaaargghhh.
RANT! I wish you guys would keep all those lovely pictures UNDER 100k
If you want people to appreciate them - keep them smaller k wise.
On these screens there's no loss of definition - they'll just come up quicker.

Simon: I wouldn't know the difference between 17 and 18, I used to have plain old 16's...

The 19's (granted I had a bit too tall profiled tires too) rubbed during semi-aggressive cornering, the car felt much heavier ... a lazy feeling sort of. Not what I wanted.

These 18's have a much nicer feel to them, for sporty driving the 16's would probably be the best but the difference is quite minimal ... plus the thin sidewall of low profile tires means much sharper steering response

bader$, it's graphite metallic (L B7V) ... a bit lightened version though, for some reason the guy who re-sprayed the car a few years ago used a slightly different mix of metal flakes. So probably if me and UDPride parked next to each other, his car would look just a touch darker

I can definately tell the difference between the 18's and 19's on your car. Personally, the 18's look much better.

kk, why do you think?

what is that logo looking thing on the back of the car. right where the 'Turbo" badge should be. It looks a bit like an outline of a country or something. is this a reflection?
Thanks
The car looks great!

It's the profile of the legendary Nürburgring racetrack.
