    Do you even have tires on those wheels? :shocked: Those sidewalls are so thin I'd be worried about using them on any road & damaging a wheel. The largest wheel I'm considering is a 17" with a 205/50R17 tire. I also want to find something light weight so mpg is not hurt so much. It seems hard to do.

    I was considering a Rosen Nav for my Corolla so I will be very interested in what you think of this unit. Please keep us updated on what you think.

    You are right, the sidewalls are almost not there at all. I bought the wheels & tires as a package. I wanted 18's but the manufacturer was out and told me the 19's would work. He told me to get this size tire so as to not effect the speedometer reading. I was suprised when i got them. They do ride rough when cold but are ok on the hiway. I do however scan for holes and bumps constantly. I did get the same mpg on my last 2 tanks 1 before and 1 after. I will report on the Rosen Monday if I can walk. Half marathon Sunday

    Thanks for all the great compliments guys. It is amazing what a couple hundred bucks will do to the look of a car. The car handles great and no longer feels like you are floating on a set of four bagels (OEM 15's). Once I get the rubbing with my wheels taken care of, I am going to install sway-bars and STB as well. Then I should not envy my wife's IS 250C handling.

    Looks nice, but I think going with coilovers is my recommendation this way you can adjust height to your liking and not prematurely wearing out the long stroke factory shocks.
