Dean, thanks! Seriously, nice car, man. I almost got that blue when I ordered my 550. In the end, I chickened out at the prospect of never-ending dirt showing & tiny chips showing, so I got silver instead. Here's another 2 for ya, the first being excuses for ricers:   | ||

Kuzi, All in good fun. Though now of course I have to get one of my friends so I can enter this contest of "real-life" pics... | ||

Ok, seriously... About driving impressions. I went for a nice long drive last night and I can tell you the 19" make a considerable difference. In fact, I was suprised at how much. I've played with wheels on cars before. It is amazing what works and doesn't. For example, the GT2 is better on 18"s I think, not 19"s... Anyway -- The 19"s on the 575 do all the things you expect they would as compared to 18"s -- More road feel, slightly stiffer feel...etc. The difference is entirely positive in my estimation. I loved the 575 as it came with 18"s, however it was slightly floaty (as many of you know or have read). I had planned on suspension tweaks -- but the 19"s have made MORE of a difference than I expected. The ride is still GT, so I can't imagine anyway saying it is too firm, but at least now I can speed along with ever thinking an occasional "that bump made this feel too much like a Lincoln Town Car"... I give it two big thumbs up. Most notable improvement a wheel change has made -- With the possible exception of ditching the stock 18"s on a GT2 to save unspung weight (note to all you GT2 owners, your wheels are HEAVY) Dean PS -- I agree that Dave has the best graphics pieces I've seen on any board ever. | ||

I LOVE those wheels - I'm not joking - I wouldn't get the 575M without a set. A good buy Dean! | ||

I think those wheels really set off the car. Very nice upgrade! Does anybody have pics of a 360 with modular's on it? | ||

Great looking wheels. I'm considering the 19's as well. Where did you get yours? My 575 is Pozzi Blue and I think that chrome might look good against the dark body color. | ||
