    still needs to be much darker imo mate.

    also, have you noticed how they make the brakes look tiny?

    I think you should donate them to someone with mahoosive brakes so they can be put to good use

    lol Jamie.... It's not too bad actually mate, no worse than the 18's.... Plus I have the added bonus of driving steady for the first time EVER as I'm looking out for holes and defects in the road to protect the 19's... Which is a new experience for me and quite a pleasant one at that.

    That would be us then, as although your (wife's) front brakes are slightly bigger, the rears are tiny.
