19 inch vs stock wheels n tires - 8/20/2008 6:24:40 PM    MrGmo Posts: 89 Joined: 9/18/2007 From: Los Angeles, CA Status: offline so ive noticed a big diffrence since i had to put on my stock rims and tires.... my car actually peels out now lol... i know it was from all the grip the 19''s got... and im faster now too... theres a straight away by my house that noone ever drives on... i usually top out at 90 mph before having to stop this morning i topped out at almost 100 before having to stop... AND not only does it peel out on 1st... but 2nd and 3rd chirp too lol... this is amazing... BUT... does this mean my handling will suffer from the loss of grip??? _____________________________ 01 Accord Ex 2D 5spd NightHawk Black CAI Header 4-2-1 19" RSL Wheels 5 Window Tint Eyelidz Hifonics Zeus Amp Kicker 12" SoloB L7 Tein Suspension NGK Iridium IX Plugs De-Badged OBX Hi-Flow Cat Post #: 1
