Ok Guys and Gals,

I have to make a decision by Monday Night.

And its a tuff one. Dont forget this is my daily driver.

Right now if i was too keep the 19" axis se7en mods on i am having alot of trouble with rubbing. I would need to get my rear fenders rolled (which is going to cost me more money) and also be more careful since i have less rubber now and i am located in LA area and having a bigger chance to bending a rim.

Or i can keep my 18's that i currently have for sell:

If i decide to keep my 18's. I can give these 19's back to my friend cuz i haven't paid him yet and he is willing to do what best fits me. I need some opinions.

I mean having 19's on my car with look alot more agreesive but i also need my car to be a daily driver for work and need it to be dependable. I haven't had any problems with my 18's but i just thought having 19's would look nice.

Please Help Guys and gals.. what should i do.. ???

hey kenny!

Since your car is a daily driver id suggest you keep the 18s... If you think about it, theres a few downfalls your brought up already about having 19s and with the LA streets... :oops:

Im sure your 18s are perfectly fine and lloks good already!! havent seen your car wit the kit yet... hey keep the 18s = save you money now and in the long run (bent rims?)

my 2 cents :wink:

Thanks Solara Nytez... I truely appreciate your opinion. I have till Monday to think about this and i am leaning towards keeping my 18's. I mean i dont want to have too much trouble with my rims in the future if i went with 19's and stuff.

I will be updating my CarDomain site soon so you guys can enjoy the pictures. The TRD kit looks awsome on the car. I can tell you it makes a difference in appearence.

Anyone else???

Yea d00d, keep the 18's. 19's I personally think are much too big for Solara, let alone a daily driver...theyre just impractical.

I dunno if you people live in the ghettoest places in L.A., but L.A. roads are decent compared to other places where it snows and rains constantly which causes the roads to crack and break. Its funny though, if your so concerned about bending your rims, keep the 19's sell the 18's and buy some 17's with the money. :D
