New GT Shoes

[whitety]

Finally made the decision to change the shoes for my GT .. love the contrast of the red calipers in the black shoes!!!!
Original intent is to change to 20 inch but ... 19 is actually not a bad compromise from weight/looks/$$$ considerations!!

My original ///M Sports 18" inch rims with profile
Front 225/50/18
Back 255/45/18

And now ... Breyton Fascinate 19 inch and Yokohama Advan Sports V105 Rubbers
Front 245/40/19
Back 275/35/19

Nice.
How is the ride for 19" as compared to 18"?
Has the handling improved?

Honestly, the ride feels the same on normal road as I usually do not drive the car hard at corner. But the overall aesthetic feel is definitely much better esp with the lower aspect ratio and also with a black rim, the brake dust is not so obvious now ..

Oh 1 thing! The Breyton rims are much lighter compared to the stock rims .. together with the non-RTF rubber, overall weight is much lighter!
