Rollin' on 19's club

Anyone else out there on 19's? If so, this is the place to show them off. Yes, we know that they are big, heavy, anti-performance, etc, but we like how they look so haters/flamers please keep to yourselves. I invision a ghetto logo will be in order too. Now I get to wait and see if there is anyone out there to join me, maybe there isnt but I am curious and killing time at work. (Edit for Kenchan, car must be a MINI!)

Hey that is not a MINI! (it is nice though)

You are therefore kicked out of the club, which returns it to a club of 1.

Yes, Hamann sold his. There has to be another out there...

To be fair to Ken, you didn't specify the make of car in your request for entries.

And how could you move and leave your MINI behind?

Peter, we definately need more pics. Why haven't I seen this before? Definately one of my favorite MINIs - I better post it on the "Favorite MINI" thread. The Zeemax kit looks awesome from the side.

Saw these on a different thread here on NAM too:

Efxautosport:


I'm amazed because back in May I couldnt find anyone else with 19's and now I am counting 5! That is more like it.

Kenchan, you've seen the light. Now just move towards the light. Go towards the light Kenchan...and you too will have 19's...

Yeah, those Zemax side pieces really put the 19's back into perspective. Does that make sense? Maybe I mean proportion. I dunno. I better grab a beer and get back on the boat.

Well i left it there as it is for sale right now. But the way things are with my job up here, i may end up just keeping it as it is payed off. I'll see if the guy who has it right now can take a couple pics for me so i can post them for ya.
