thanks chaps!

they look ok.. main reason for change is these wheels come wrapped in Goodyear F1's  :evil: :evil:

p.s. That no black mirror housing. Its missing the white casing thats all... some fool smashed it off :grin:

LOL on closer inspection of the photo I can see what you mean. Bloody annoying that. Had some prize pr*ick on two wheels mess my wing mirror up. The covers are cheap as chips to buy and then you just need get them painted at a bodyshop. If I was you I'd whip the other one off at the same time and get them both painted in gloss black ( I wish I had of done at the time ).

Can I ask do the 19's affect the ride quality. The wheels look fantastic on the car.

My personal experience with the 19s is that they don't feel any worse than the 18s. I don't have ACC.
Can't remember what the ride was like on 17s as I only had them on there for 150 miles!

When they were first fitted on the car they felt REALLY heavy. I then took it on myself to check pressures... 17psi back and 19psi fronts  :shocked:

Since they have been topped up I would say i prefer the ride over both the 17's and 18's. They feel more planted and offer so much more grip than the bridgestones provided.

That's what ACC is for :wink:
I agree Bridgestones are not the best.  Your wheels look  :cool:
