yes...you can easily do 18" wheels but why would you want to? I went from the heavy 17" superlights and dreadful Goodyear runflats to much lighter 16" and yokos....much better handling peformance and even a small improvement in the low end starts with the lighter weight at all 4 corners......the 18" wheels and low profile tires look cool parked, but driving the car is another story, laugh !

Sorry, red03mini. The young lady with the 19" wheels was a no show yesterday. I'll try later on today. Her MCS is Dark silver/Black, I believe.

OK, I got the piccysof the 19's. Had to carry the camara around for a while on the chance I'd find it in the driveway.

Now for the interesting part. How the heck do I get te image on here?

She's runnning Pirelli 215-35-19's BTW

If someone would be kind enough to explain to me how to (using moron terms) I would be pleased to share them w/ you.
