these sun rhyno lite's are pretty tough

i've been running some sun single track disc's, and they have been holding up pretty good through my abuse so far, though i really haven't done anything more then basic xc rides since getting them..

ohhhh, you want automotive wheels...

why 19's? have you looked at the available tire selection? if your only replacing the factory wheels, i don't see any reason to go above 18--much wider tire selection, and a little more rubber for a slightly smoother ride.





i thought the 03+'s were better(completely different design, so i assume they use a different metal), though my car's gs-t style wheels are made of a really soft metal. when i got the car, 2 wheels had multiple cracks at the spoke/rim intersection and running your finger along the lip, you could feel flat spots.. the other 2 that are on the car cause the steering wheel to vibrate at 75+mph when they're mounted on the front of the car. i replaced the 2 really bad ones, the other 2 are still in the same condition i got them in-- poor, but useable.

my car was driven by a chick before me, so i can only assume she aimed for large potholes...

Maybe he curbed them really badly or doesn't know how to avoid potholes. If that's the case then I don't think dropping $1,500 on wheels is a good idea. Might as well get a cheap set from sears or something. :lol:

The TSW wheels posted are displayed as the widest possible size with the lowest possible offset. I have a feeling that you won't be pushing either of those two boundaries. Tenzo-R wheels don't tend to look too bad on this car. I had those on two different cars, and they worked great. No breakage and not too much weight. For the money, those aren't bad.
