A, b is too boxy for curvy sc lines. Even a is kinda too aggressive

A; B looks too busy and a nightmare to clean.

I like the Rohana look better but in the past when I considered Rohana for another car, i saw some feedback about the wheels being prone to getting bent. Living in the northeast with our bad roads, I kind of gave up.

Well I went with A.

Wheels: Rohana RFX17 Brushed Titanium 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.

Tires: Pirelli Pzero 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear.

I thought going from 18" to 19" would give me a harder ride but the Pirelli Pzero tires are smoother and best of all cured my steering wheel shake @ 55-60 MPH. The ride is truly transformed and I think they look pretty good too.



I purchased them through Vibe Motorsports. I recommend them for excellent knowledge, communication and service. They shipped the wheels With tires mounted / balanced...

I loved my PZeros on my C70. Super comfortable ride, but for some reason they just attracted nails. I think I had to patch more flats on those tires than any other tire I ever had. I think it is because the rubber is so soft.

Even after that, I loved the ride so much, I would consider buying them again.
