Calling Gen Sedans with 19's

[OneFunGenesis]

Hey all,

I have the opportunity to pick up some Gen coupe 19's with the OEM protenza's on them.

I just wanted to know from you guys with +1 or +2 wheels...how is the ride? I have a 2009 so the ride is already a LITTLE bouncy. I really don't want to sacrifice ride quality for a little better look.

These wheels have also been plasti-dipped black...not sure I like it...might peel it off.

I do not notice any difference in ride quality from the 18" wheels to the R Spec wheels. With the Conti DW's it's pretty good ride. Which Potenza's does the coupe have?

I LOVE the coupe wheels. I actually like that plasti-dip look, but I wouldn't keep it if I had those wheels on my sedan. I thought about getting a set of Coupe 19's to use as winter wheels... but they're too pricey for my taste.

As for the ride, I could DEFINITELY tell a difference between 17's and 19's when I test drove the different cars. However, a lot of that difference was driven by the suspension settings. Just wait until someone on here who's made the wheel switch chimes in. There are a few on the boards... you might try searching for "new wheels" threads. That might help.

Thanks guys. This dude is offering me a KILLER deal on these wheels with the tires. I just have to convince him to ship them lol.

The protenza's are 235/45/19...not sure which sub sect.

I just don't want to lose my cushy luxury ride! Haha

Just curious if the tires are the summer compound (I think they are with the 19's on the coupe).

I think they are the Potenza RE050A.

They are indeed the summer compound

Thanks

Did you end up getting the coupe 19's? I thought about doing this as well, wondering what it looks like from the side. Had the M45 Sport 19's on my G35 Nismo sedan, the coupe wheels remind me of them. Mine are plasti-dipped in this pic.

I have not yet. I am going to run my stock wheels through the summer again. They have enough tread left for another season.

I love the M35/45s wheels. I always have and have always wanted them. They are just so darn expensive! Nice ride btw

Sold mine before selling the car for only $500. Couldn't sell them for over 5 months at $700 with tires. Its what I get for being in North Carolina. Thanks for liking the car.

I took off the trim cause I thought it would look cleaner only being on the lens itself. The passenger side is a pain to remove. The top right nut is right in front of a big connector. Might try covering the whole thing like you did cause I do like the look. Let you know how that goes.

 

[OneFunGenesis]

Lol okay. I can't believe how cheaply you sold the wheels! Those are great wheels too. It's a shame
