M45 rims FS on ebay, good deal?

Are these a good deal? I would say they look good for anyone thats looking. The thing that would scare me would be the tires size. 235/35/19 seems a little thin for such a big size rim....wouldnt the ride quality suffer ALOT?!

agreed.

they're 19s. ride quality is going to go down a couple notches. 35 aspect ratio is fairly thin but not ridiculously thin. im running 245/35-19 on 10" wide and im comfortable with it. it's going to be a significant difference in ride quality but let me ask you this first: what suspension are you on?

well i can tell you ride quality will definitely suffer. you will feel the vibrations and what not more often than usual due to the smaller sidewall. do be careful around potholes and dips/ruts in the road. depending on how strong the sidewall is, it may damage the rim if not careful. but seeing how these are OE wheels, you should be fine. and also keep an eye out for bubbles on the sidewalls. you gotta pay to play. personally, ive hit some nasty ruts and potholes but no bends. just bubbles on the tires. knockin on wood so far.

That's decent sized rubber for 19's. I'm running 215/35R19 with a slight stretch. You'll feel the ruts though.
