Question 19 inch wheels/Champion Motorsports

I am thinking about switching from 18 to 19 inch wheels. Is there any modification that needs to be done to the brakes if I step up in size.

Also, I am considering Champion Motorsport wheels, specifically, the RG19 Monolites. Does anyone have experience with their products?

I have never used CMS products but I have heard great things about them.

How about some pics of the wheels?

Champion has a great reputation, but there wheels aren't cheap.

No brake modifications are needed.

I've seen them and they look nice. Pretty expensive though.

Well

You probably wont have a problem. Just have to figure out which will suit you better.
Remember lighters are beter.

Just really like BBS, Sportec, and Champion.

BEST WISHES

Thanks for the feedback. I actually saw in Excellence last month an ad for a new Champion wheel on a Porsche turbo that looks great.

Does anyone wax or Rejex their wheels as I hear it is much easier to clean and may be protective to some extent?

...you may want to call wheel Enhancement in Culver city ((310) 836-8908, a high end wheel dealer here in SoCal. They deal in Champions and other popular brands. Very helpful and knowledgeable as to what works, prices are very fair, better then Tire Rack. Their site also contains many gallery photos of wheels mounted on various P-Cars. Fun and useful. Good luck!
