Nice!!! I like the baller look on a black sedan...now a lil drop, TV's in those headrests, and some thump in the trunk...

Keep to one "theme" and it will turn out great in my opinion...

Some peeps like JDM, others go all performance, and others like the bling bling effect...i like them all, but keepin it consistant is key!

Great Lookin car! Ima sucker for Black sedans...used to have one...

Definitely looks good. I would drop about an inch (H-tech) and I would look around for the nismo kit. If you had the nismo kit dropped, you'd be rollin real hard. Looks great though.

Q50 Red Sport 400 RWD
Some angles it looks like your wheel is resting on the pavement--I sure hope you do not encounter a pot hole or a curb. By the way, what is a set of replacement tires going to run you? $1300/$1400?
Looks good.

I'll let you know in about 10K miles how much replacement tires cost. But I know a tire salesman in town, so he says "cost" for me, but I have no idea what that is.

And if I hit a pothole and dent a rim, I will NOT be happy!!

nice ride.
I love chrome on black.
I'm going with 20's this fall. Did you find the offset and have you had any problems with rubbing fenders? How close is the front tire to that inside suspension bar?

Some people don't like chrome wheels. I never understood that, I think they look great, especially on a black car. What do you think of these?

Looks Good!!

your car looks good in the Chrome. I am getting the Axis Milanos 20" this week 20x8.5, 245/35/20 all around also.

One thing I noticed is that your car looks higher than stock. The wheel diameter that you have now is 0.44" higher than the 17" stock. So the gap should be smaller than stock. is your car AWD?

Could you post some more pics of the front end? side profile?

Looks great...enjoy.

Won't be long and we'll be running on a 1/2" of rubber and a 25" rim.

It's about time you pulled the trigger. You are the most undecided **** I've ever encountered!!! Now pull the trigger on the suspension already!

What's the old engineering quote: "Form Follows Funtion"

If it don't function, it has no form....

If you're quoting verbatim, with spelling like that an engineer definitely wrote it.

hot rims man, they go good with the lines of the car....looking at the pictures, are you sure you got the right offset? you might have to roll your fenders to tuck those puppies in under the well....

p.s. dont let anyone knock the hustle, they look tight

Well after driving around now for over a week with these, I can honestly say that I like them. The ride quality might have gone down a hair, but nothing drastic. My handling has improved a ton but I can tell the car is a little more sluggish. Nothing major, just off the line, I think it's a hair slower than it used to be. But I'm not a racer, so that wasn't a concern for me.

EVERYBODY stares at my car now. And I always have people coming up to me at the store or gas station asking me questions. The one everyone wants to know is, "How much?" It's getting old fast.

But overall I love what these rims and toyo's did for my car.

I'll find out the offset this week, and I'll have some more pics up soon.

Thanks again for everyone on here who helped me, especially skeleton_cru. Even though I went with the complete opposite of what he suggested, he still helped me out a TON.

Next up are some Tein Springs!!!!
