Nice Wheels Dude! Thumbs Up!

I'm on 19" of the same (in Black Though) - did they make them specially?

235/30/20 I guess would work - more alloy than Rubber (almost!)

How much Rim protection do you have on your tyres?
What rubber do you use?

Surprisingly the ride is still great using a better tyre helps. Not much rim protection though. Have you got a pic of your's in black would be interesting to see.
