Default Before 19" After 17" Speedline's
Always told myself if I ever got a WS6 I would get the Speedlines. Car came with 19" Ruff Racing rims. Personally they make it ride like a tank. Now it drives so smooth.

Before & After Pics Attached.

I like the look of the 19s but if it rides like poop I would have put the stockers back on

I have 19s, and agree that it rides rough, but love the look of them. I'm wondering if I step up the tire height a little, if that would help. Go from a 275/30/19 to a 275/35/19? It would help with adding a little bit more sidewall, it would also fill out the wheel wells better.

It's either that, or go to an 18" as a compromize.

I'm willing to sell my wheel and tire combo if you're interested. Tires are Michellin Pilot sports, 275/30/19 all around.

Mine rides quite well with 19, I have no complains whatsoever other than the price of tires. Perhaps it depends on how sensitive our butts are! But seriously....hows your shocks? That could explain the ride's roughness.
