    Anyone have pictures of your 04+ GP in 19's?
    I can't decide, do I want to go with 18" or 19" wheel's for Betty? I had always thought I would just go a little bigger with 18's as my plan is to daily it for the most part, maybe run it down the 1/4 once or twice, but for 98% of the time just a fun daily car.

    18's. 19's add a little too much mass for the trans on a daily. Nice car, btw. My rims look about in the same shape, hmm..

    19's look good, the tire prices however do not haha.

    If the 19's are light weight they would be no different than running 18's.

    Sounds like 18s are the way to go then. Now to decide if I wanna go with ZZPs new fancy coilovers or just new springs/struts....

    The 18s I'm running are about the same weight as my 17s. I'm looking for more 18s that are even lighter.

    I ran 18" Lucerne Super rims on my Regal as a daily (except worst of winter) without a single issue. And they looked great too.

    Those (in 18's) are the wheels Betty has coming for her. Can't wait!
