This is weird quoting myself, but in the latest Wheels magazine there is an article about the new 2010 Roadster ST which has optional 19" wheels!

Nice one Nissan. Way to go pissing all the 2009 buyers off by not offering decent wheels. :icon23:

:iagree:

The extra inch of diameter does nothing significant to improve performance, however the extra 1" in width of rim and tire does improve performance significantly. And yes, replacement tires are much more expensive in the 19" sizes.
