your car looks good! I recently installed a fab9 narrowed 3" per side, and waiting for some 19's that are being machined. Have you had a chance to take more pictures, especially with it outside during the day?

Seriously one of the better looking black/black T/A's I've ever seen. Very sick setup.

I hate to say this, but I agree. It makes the wheels look smaller than 18s IMO. If they had a flat lip

But they do look sick, I'm not dissing on the wheels at all, I'm planning on getting some classics when I have more cash, but ZR1s will hold me off for a while

Thanks for the comments guys - I agree its not a wheel for everyone. The stepped lip grew on me. If you hate stepped lips though don't get the LM20 - it has an addition step on the lip which makes it ugly.

Don't get me wrong, the wheels on your car are amazing. I just wish they had a flat lip on them

lol true that! It is taking forever, but I wanted to have them measure my car so that the wheels are flush and not sticking out of the fender well, I hate that. To me, its so redneck lol. From what I have been told, the rear will have a 6" lip and the front will have a 3" and still allow for Brembo brake upgrade ;-) I'm going with 19x10.5 in the rear and 19x9.5 in the front, much better tire options with those sizes. Too bad you didn't live in San Diego, I just got a Canon T2i I would have let you use.
