WOW dude that looks awesome...congrats

19x8 and 19x8.5

It's actually 19x8.5 and 19x9

Looks sick! Love the color of the wheels

NICE! Did you get those painted or do they come in that color?

i had them powdercoated hyperblack which is actually somewhat like a dark gunmetal. i almost did black chrome but i think i like this color better.

it looks good

loks great but def needs a drop

how much does it cost to get your rims powdercoated for the set? and what kind of place does this work?

it cost around $500. i had the whole rim done, not just the face as some do. i had mine done in atlanta at wheel wizard. it took about 2 weeks but they did a remarkable job.

as for some of the other comments i don't think i'm going to drop the car now or maybe never. it looks good the way it is. i don't want the hassle of alignment issues which are prevalent regardless of what method you choose to lower your car. plus this car is a driver and the b.s. you encounter these days on the road, poor roads, pot holes, etc. its just not worth the added risk to make it look 5% better. i'm also looking to achieve a subtle but effective look for the car. i've always followed the keep it simple approach to all my cars and they have always turned out just right. thanks again for those who commented on the wheels. more mods to come. oh, and i'm also open to suggestions still about the trunk. i need something there like a decklid spoiler to accentuate the rear but i haven't found anything yet.

More pictures would be awesome! Car looks fantastic.

Also how did the 19s affect the car's ride quality? How much rougher did it get going from the 18s to the 19s?

Those powder coated wheels remind me of the IS-F wheels. hahaha

They look absolutely fantastic on your IP tho'.

i took a close up of one of the wheels tonight...didn't turn out too well. i took some more pics but they are horrible since i'm still using my camera phone. i'll get some real pics this weekend. oh and i had to throw a pic of my old baby in there too. sorry to digress.

looks good but needs a drop - and something else painted that color to make the wheels pop - paint the grill or overlay on the roof - overlay might be a little much, but it needs something so the 2 colors dont look so seperate..
