Hey Guys,

ECS Tuning has a set of staggered 19in rims for well under 600. I'm thinking about grabbing a set just because. Does anyone have experience with these wheels? Are they pretty well built? I live in MD/DC. DC streets are a mess but most times in MD.

And for the spec below can someone suggest a tire set up? I like skinny tires (look better imo) but I rather ride quality over looks and of course I'd like my tires to be wider than the usual. Not interested in rolling fenders or other body mods.

Specs: Front 19x8.5 35ET and Rear 19x9.5 40ET

Gotchya, as for the correct tire for wheels mentioned would be 235/35/R19 (Fronts) and 265/30/R19 in the rear. You really don't have much say in the side wall dimension as you need to maintain a similar overall wheel diameter than stock.
