Had my hart set on the "manager special" Axis Gravity staggerd set from "wheelstudio.com" but five days after I called and placed the order still had no tracking number so I called and was told Axis took them back .So I bought these from " Tirerack.com" and they were at my door in 48 hours

Very nice! Drop it 2"+, peel the tape off those A-pillars and add a custom grille and you'll have exactly what I want my NBM to look like. Unfortunately I bought the 16" oem alloys and will probably have to live with them at least until I need new tires. I personally don't care for the spoiler or the 5 axis kit.

Vans-

How's the ride on the 19's? I have a NBM also and am looking at the same wheels in either 18" or 19". The fact that the 19's are actually $17 cheaper than the 18's has made me give 19's some consideration.

Would you recommend 19's now that you ridden on them? My driving is primarily highway, and I don't want to sacrifice ride for another inch of cool.

I got the wheels and picked the Box up from my Wifes work and put them on.Dropped it back off at her work before she got off.She drove to school and didn't notice till she was walking back to the Box after her class. The 35 tires do make the ride a little more direct so you do feel the bumps more, but I don't mind it. With out the drop you might have enough room for 40 sidewalls but don't know for sure. TRD springs are going on next summer, that will make the bumps even more apparent. 2" drop seems a bit much for Wisconsin winters. We both are Satisfied with the Ride :D
