when you say difference, are you only referring to looks? How different does it drive moving from 17 to 19's?

The 17s have a better ride on city roads. Not as bouncy and stiff. You don't feel the road seams and imperfections as much. The staggered 19s are better handling but the ride suffers.

This is true... But I used to own a Vehicross which rode like a truck on city roads. So I don't mind as much..

I still can't believe that Vehicross ever went into production. You've definitely upgraded!

On bad roads, the ride is a bit bumpier. But the handling is so much better. From take off, exceleration and of course, corners. Plus I really, really like the way they look. Much better curb appeal. Makes me feel better walking up to it. I'm no longer looking at other people's Xs and wondering what size their rims are...

I got them off of a fellow x5world member, UCrewX5... I lucked out to get a really good deal from a really good guy....

Keep an eye out here for people selling their rims...

Nice shoes!

The Vehicross kinda looks like a bulldog with that jacked up front end!

Go out late at night so there's no traffic and take one of those nice tight entrance ramps to the Belt. Push it a bit.....Those staggered 19s are awesome on curves.

No kidding, but find a entrance ramp with a tight curve you can rip around on the Prospect Epxressway or the BQE

I'm thinking it looks like Carroll Gardens, Court Street area.
