Big_Single_Bob Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) I really like the Kahn RS-C2pc, but they are 19" rims. From what I've read and heard, 19" rims impair handling and driveability... Should I go for 19's or just find something else similar in 18"? Opinions Please Thanks -BSB EDIT: Any recommendation for rims similar to these: Edited May 10, 2008 by Big_Single_Bob (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 personally i'd try and find 18's, best to keep the handling spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I went from 18's to 19's and can't really feel much of a difference, although the tyres I had on the 18's were pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Single_Bob Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 personally i'd try and find 18's, best to keep the handling spot on. Thats what I was thinking, but look here at these rims http://www.kahndesign.com/ They are SO nice, and I can't seem to find any that are similar... I like 5 Spoke silver/chrome/anthracite and recessed, the kahn's fit (except for the size) Any recommendations? -BSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are nice... and I can't seem to find any that are as good if not slightly worse in 18" so... -BSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Im actually finding 19s not too bad at all. ride is good and handling isnt a problem, but I am running stock springs. However Im not a chrome rim kinda person so Im actually looking to sell mine. THey are Khan RS-C2pc. Might be looking to sell them if you are interested. Small amount of kerbing on then but apart from that in pretty good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I sold my wheels which I adored (Blitz Z1 Technospeeds) as they were 19" and I disliked the tramlining, I have gone 18" now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 the difference is big, but another even bigger issue is rear wheel size. I have 295 right now, and to be honest I would rather take the bus. 275 is enough for anyone but circuit racers, and try to get as close to +50 offset as possible...
