Default Re: Realistic rim sizes...

Well some say that it's just technology and evolution but I agree, there comes a limit.

Personally 17s are as big as I want to really go for a daily. Weekenders, sports cars etc is open slather though.

Your certainly gain nothing from going to 19s for example on the fg xrs. But the ride quality is just as dependent on tyre profile aswell...some tyres getting around look like rubber painted on.

All just depends on the driving you do. Having all these options are great for the initial purchase but many don't even think about running costs...that's when it hurts.
