Very nice!
So what size tires did you go with, 245/35/19s and 275/30/19s?

More, closer photos would be nice!

WOW! Thats exactly my car and exactly the same size wheel and color I wanted to see. They look PERFECT!

Would you mind snapping some more pics of this sweet car? Also, when you were ordering, did they come in an option of getting the lip finish polished? I think thats what I would get done if I had the choice.

What offset did you end up going with? And do you have any shots from the rear? The only reason I haven't picked up a set are because I can't get them in an 11" width...but I've been contemplating having them widened instead.

Thanks for all the Positive Feedback.

I got the +38 offset, it has the 72.6 bore, so I had to get hubcentric rings, I have no vibration issues. As soon as I can get home before dark, I will get some more pics up.

Are your konis on the lower perch up front? Did you do the hose mod in the rear as well? Curious if the lips on these come in a polished version too.

Looks really good. Is 9.5" the widest you can get? Where did you get the wheels? PM if not a site sponsor.

No, it's on the top perch, No hose mod in the rear. I have Strano Springs. I don't think they come polished, I only know of the Chrome and the Hypersilver.

They do call these polished lip on the hyper silver. I was thinking chrome when you asked. I would not consider these polished as in chrome shine.

it was 70.3 to 72.6, You want to get the 38 offset. They have a 30 offset but it has a 74.1 bore. If you check the FAQ, it says not to go lower than a 38.

What was the reasoning with going with a 35 instead of 30 series tire?
