Anyone with 19" vs 21" wheels photo comparison handy?

[nasilemak]

The biggest draw of 21" is the aesthetics and would love to see a side by side comparison.

The closest thing i found is from this thread.

More discussions here and here but not much pics. Thanks!

You might want to evaluate the 19" wheels with the aero inserts out. They look much better without. The taller sidewalls and all-season tires on the 19s will relieve any worries in non-ideal conditions.

21”

19”

The zoomed in config photos look like the tires could use some air..

does anyone know of you can put the Sapphire set up with 20” on front and 21” on the rears for the Air Touring?

You could... but I wouldnt. TPMS would be hard to reset.

Agreed!

Nope, you guys did this wrongly. You have to show the whole car.

Took delivery end of Sept. with 19" set. (before tint / after tint)

Last week installed 21" set.

aesthetically the 19" with aero covers are best for overall appreciation of the car's design.

with the 21"s my eye goes to the wheel, and I don't even see the rest of the car. I do like the look but don't like the attention-drawing. With the 19's I blend-in with the other cars (why I chose silver). I'm quite surprised how smooth the 21"s are, and quieter? I should go take some photos.

With just the car in the frame I don't really see the effect I'm describing. I'll go out and take some photos in a parking lot.

I get the sense Lucid does not want owners to do this. I've searched the B pillar for the correct tire pressures for the 21" set but no joy. Also not in Owner's Manual, nor is there any mention of the correct wheel lug torque. I'm going with 95 lb ft and 45 psi for now. I read it's supposed to be 42 psi but I'm going for a little pothole protection. Anyone who has ridden road bikes will tell you how important it is to keep your tyres pumped to avoid punctures.

Is it just me or do I feel like on silver 19s look better?

21s are 42PSI indeed. The main problem is you can’t reprogram the TPMS sensors

yea, me too. problem is I got all sideways pulling out of the neighborhood with the wife beside me. the gap was short, I was low hours on the car, and way underestimated how little it takes to go full torque (been driving my son's base 328 in economy mode). we both were pretty scared ( tail went way out ). wife scolded me so I said: " Don't worry, it's because I have the snow tires on. I'm gonna put the summer tires on once it's warm enough and it won't happen again, sorry."
I have never been out of smooth mode. Some day I may get the nerve to try a launch...but definitely not with the 19"s.

Bummer. I guess I can live with the amber light on the dash 7 months / year. Probably won't need to know if the 21"s are getting low on air = should be able to notice car riding on the rim. Never had a tire with such a low sidewall. I do very much like these tires though.
Also borski as you recommended the Lucid Shaving Kit: It does have a decent air pump that puts out enough psi to fill the 19" tires. There are two buttons: one for shaving cream and one for the air pump. The 12v cord is long enough to reach the front wheels when plugged into the 12v outlet in the trunk. The analogue gauge is hard to read so I go a little more than I think it says then correct with a pencil gauge. It's a nice package (although fussy to re-pack) and has velcro strips to keep it from flying around. Thumbs up. You still need a proper tire gauge though. The Lucid one is +/- 5 psi.

No sticker like the attached on your B-pillar? Also, the Lucid owner manual does show the torque spec for lug nut tightening - 150 Nm. See attached.
