I love my RL, don't get me wrong, but 19's on an RL with a little strip of rubber stretched over the wheel is "fuggin ugly". It's like a 280ZX with 18" spinners, or a Chevy Cavalier with chrome Torq-Thrust and T/A's. It just isn't right. 17's and 18's are just right for the RL. Save the 20s for the guys that like driving down the road with three 20" spinners on their car and the "spare" as the fourth, because they hit a small pot-hole and trashed a rim, and can't afford a new one...now who looks "fuggin ugly".

Don't mind the sarcasm, but if you're gonna dump on someone, expect some dumpin' back.

BTW, sweet rims and clean ride. If you had to go with 19's I'd say you made a good choice.

.... uhmmmmm ..... i don't know you nor have i ever directed anything personally towards you. even my post that you are quoting & getting all butt hurt over is only trying to persuade someone to get 19's or 20's and clearly states "IMO". no i DO NOT want to get personal with you. getting personal with my wife is good enough for me. & oh yes i do agree with you on 1 thing & 1 thing only, and that is that i used the wrong word for around here - so no the 17's are not only "fuggin" ugly - they're UGLY AS "FECK" !!! and i must tell you from EXPERIENCE because it is WHAT I HAVE RODE ON for the past 10 days or so - my "rubber band" 40 series are a smoother ride than my 15's with 65 series & my 16's with 60 series. i also had absolutely no type of comparison between my 96 rl & a ferrari in my mind what soever so i don't know what the hell you were trying to conjure up with that one. & everyone else - don't forget that in this guys 1st sentence he says "i think 19's look stupid on the rl", yet then tells me "sweet rims & clean ride". 19" & 20" guys please assist in silencing this clown.
... and again "buddy" - my bad on having you quote my "fuggin ugly" remark, as the proper grammar would be FECKIN UGLY.

... EDITED PART (for everyone except rower4vt - whom already thinks hes my "buddy" & likes to get "personal" before i even acknowledge who the feck he is)... - man i aint one to judge i mean 17's or 18's look decent i guess but since getting 19's myself, i just think they look way better than 17's or 18's & i would rather go 19's or 20's if i was going to move up from anything besides the stock 16's - & that's just me - to each his/her own. i would definitely go with a good lowering though with 17's or 18's, as even my car on 19's could use a little lowering.
