i didnt know if they would look good or not tbh... but the car seems to get SOOOOOO many stares now... i do get a little shy  :embarassed:
Now Gillypooos, bashfulness is not your forte. I am sure your rim can be split with ease. :grin:

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.

I am so glad that they are so sticky.  :tongue:

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!
I use 18's for summer and 17's for winter. To be honest the only difference I notice is the roar of the tyre in the cabin which comes down to the tyre make Must say I really like 19's. Think I will go for that size in the next GTI.
