I am considering putting 19" wheels on my ZX3. Has anyone done it? What brand would you advice?

I haven't put new rims on any car I own, but a friend of mine did, and there are a few things you have to consider / watch out for...<br><br>1. if the rim diameter [19" in your case] is different than what came with the car, you could have problems with your odometer not recording the mileage correctly. check with your dealership on this one, to see if they have a way to make sure you get the correct mileage on the odometer [or just ignore it, as my friend did!]<br><br>2. tires... with larger rims, you run into the problem of low-profile tires, which typically last 20,000 miles or LESS, whereas a good set of "regular" tires can last up to and past 80,000 miles.<br><br>3. as for brand, i recommend collecting pictures of whatever rims YOU think look good on your car and then doing a comparison, trying to picture what they would look like on your car both sitting still and driving down the road [some rims look really good when spinning]<br><br>good luck, and let us know what kind you get, if you get 'em!
