How are you finding the ride? I love the way my 19s look but haven't gotten used to the ride. Bumpier and bouncier on the streets. Exit ramps and curves are great though. I need to play around with the pressure. Maybe that will do it.

Yes, I want to know about the ride on those 20's too. Drive it like you stole it and running away from the cops and let us know how it goes

interesting question, guys.
it's definitely bumpy if you know what i mean.
the smoothness, imo, is gone.

i'm also a bit annoyed bc i have to get the balance done again. the steering shakes at 60mph.

ya know what though, it looks so damn good, i really can't complain. i've noticed more pp check out my X now than ever before.

i'm thinking about lowering it just a tad. how 'bout you guys, what are your thoughts on that, if any?

Did you get your wheels replaced yet? The balancing problem is probably due to your bent wheels. I was thinking about lowering my car too, so think it's a good idea because I just don't go off road with my X.

i would def lower it a bit, it will look more aggresive with those rims, just like the 4.8....

nope. and now Eurotech is going back on what they orginally told me. they will NOT ship out the new ones until UPS comes to my house and "inspects" the rims and boxes. (personally, i think Eurotech should put foam on both sides of the rim--to protect them more.)

i'm leaving for miami early tomorrow morning so i'll deal with this on monday. Eurtotech knew i was leaving the tire place with the rims and tires put on my car.

i'm very disillusioned about the entire thing. a part of me feels like getting my $$ back from Eurtotech and selling the diamaris tires.

you pay all this money to have pp not work with you. i know it's not the end of the world but i'm quite certain those rims were insured--so take a loss. don't come whining to me about UPS after i paid almost $1200 for something that is EFFED UP!

sorry for the rant.

Sorry. Sounds like I better hurry up and put my wheels on just to make sure. Thanks for the warning. Good luck with Eurotech.
