I originaly posted this in the Q45 forum,but was told might get better response in the Vip.

Just bought a 2002 Q45 and not sure if 19 or 20 inch rims would be better bang for my buck? I want to keep the ride smooth, I heard 20's would be ok, then I heard 20's are to big and the ride would be compromised,any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cool. Nice to see you made it. I would like to see what wheels are sparking your interest. I am including here some links to threads to give you some insight as to what goes on in here when it comes to wheels.

VIP Rims?

I was wondering if the tire sensors on my Q would fit any after market rim? or exactly how do you find out? Thanks.

I believe they should work, but I'm not entirely sure.

19's are always a bit more "baller" in my eyes then your everyday off the shelf 20...

If you are going the VIP/Slammed route I suggest 19 cause the car sits better and pretty much looks alot nicer dropped on 19's. 20's seem a little too high plus its easier to score some nice 19's with a decent size lip 20's you are stuck with Generic styling. I am currently in the process of buying coilovers and was having the same dilema seems 19's are my choice.

I know this is a kinda old post....but in my opinion, the f50 will look better with 20s. The bodies on these cars are too large to run much smaller. and if i'm not mistaken some may have even come with factory 18s which makes bumping up an inch too conservative for my tastes.

congrats on the purchase.

these are very nice cars.

i'de agree and go 19.

tho, they can look small on the big boat Q's w/o the right fitment.

I go for 19s. Runs smooth and save gas, too.

I have 18s on my '97 Q45, but it looks okay...

I'm trying to save $$$ to jump up to 19s!

Since this is in the VIP forum then definately 19"!! 20's are for the DUB crowd and the point of VIP is to get as low as possible! 19" will always be lower than 20".

If your not looking to do VIP then 20" work, but this isn't the right place to ask that question then...G/L
