HP EVO Dark

The EVOS dont look good on 18x9. Do a search and see. I thought about it but the only way to get the deep lip is with 19x9.5 size. They were not available at 9.5 in 18's when I got mine. The whole dramatic effect on those is the deep dish look.

I beg to differ, I have 18X9's and I have got many complements. The 19's are to big for me.

I guess is a matter of tastes but I still think these wheels look better in 19x9.5 than 18x9.

Soon a set of Konis shocks and heater hose mod will be done to improve the car stance.

Would the lip on the 19x9.5 be any wider than on the 18x9.5?

Also, get the chromed lip if you can.
