[Ryan Cox]

Pros: umm... :-k

Cons: initial cost, weight, looks, cost of replacement tyres, tramlining, lack of feel, susceptibility to damage... :?

as above

will b keepin the potenza's but will the car handle as well when being drivin quickly compared to the 17's or does it lose the control.

I would go for some nice 18s, I used to like 19s but they are a bit too big IMO. Unless you want show instead of go.

/\ Exactly !

Lightweight 17's are the way forward, how about some nice Wedsports or something like that?

As stated by Funky, a 19 inch wheel on a CTR is overkill where driving is concerned. If you want to enjoy the Type R driving experience I would avoid 19in wheels. 8)

If you want to make your CTR more individual and tailor made for you then try another form of visual modding - there are some quality bodykits available, Buddyclub to name one. 8)

Is that including rubber as well, and what colour car is it going on?

Rays TE37 in bronze, go with 18's. Light, great looking, rare and with the right tyres no bigger than OEM 17's with a 45 profile, so the car won't appear jacked up.

Or the CE28N 8)

They will also make the brakes look tiny.
