A deserved ranking. The 19" stock wheels are stunning, and one of the best features of the car. Obviously they are a personal thing, but I can't understand why anyone would want to change from the stock wheels.

Note the similarities between our wheels and the winner, the Ferrari 430 Scuderia

I do like our stock wheels a lot too, but it's about going bigger and being lighter that counts. Volks and Work get the job done and look good while doing it.

I have the 18" GTI wheel that came out first as an OEM option. It was pretty popular and then they copied it as a 17" standard which made the #10 spot. It took a while for the 18" version to grow on me having been a spoke -wheel person for so long, but I just can't get use to the 17" version.

I absolutely love our stock 19" wheels. I get compliments all of the time on them. They're the first thing most people look at in traffic when I notice sideways glances, then the light turns green, and I'm gone.....

I agree with you. I normally change out my wheels, but I just can't talk myself into it on this car.

I really don't think the ferrari 430 scuderia wheel's are that sexy. I think the Lamborghini LP 560-4 wheels are better. I think we should made it to at least in the 5th place and the vette.
