19" Pegs!! - think i will have to go 18's

Did a bit of measuring up for some pegs, methinks the 19's might be a bit of a squeeze!! I'll try the 18's.

Sometimes, not often, but bigger isn't always best. 18's as an overall aesthetic look is what I'd say works on 850's.

hmm, not too shabby . . .

I bet the car would drive terribly with those on. They look great tho!!

Tyre size has only dropped 5mm and I have gained a little width.

I'll have to sacrifice some comfort for looks, agreed, but I run 18" at the moment anyhow.

Hi Chris.
The lighting on the wheels doesn't look right. Did you do a photoshop before you fitted them? Did you buy them?
I would keep your eye out for any and all potholes with those rubber bands if you did!
