Yeah got the centre caps to finish it. Only reason i mainly got the 19's over the 17's that i was going to buy was because my boss told me i can have these for $400 and the tyres will cost me a low $150. Also the are G2Wheels

So you now have different rolling diameters which will ruin your centre diff, larger than stock diameters which makes your speedo read incorrect, your brakes are less effective, the car has less pull in each gear, it doesn't handle as well with a higher centre of gravity, it doesn't grip as well as a good 17in tyre, it rides rough as guts, the tyres will rub somewhere on the panelwork, and potholes are a no-no.
