The rims cost me C$118 each. US$1 = C$1 these days. Plus mounting and taxes, of course.






Here is a closeup. Yeah, I know.... needs a wash.



Haha! I like the license plate! Whats the meaning behind that ?

I believe the ride and road noise is mainly due to your tire selection, not the diameter of the wheel. A larger sidewall I believe (if anyone wants to correct me, please do!) will yield a better ride. As for road noise, that is dependent on the tire itself (materials, tread pattern, etc.).

When I had my 15" stockies, I did not feel every crack in the road, I do now.
