It's ok. That's why I haven't posted pics of my coupe's new rims yet. My car is so dirty, you'd think I took it off-roading or something. I don't even know when was the last time I saw the sun was...

People kept staring at me, when I drove up to seattle... Car was dirty as heck, but rims were nice and shiny

How many miles have you put on these?
Notice much difference with the size differential from stock DIA?

I've been considering the same sizes, but am concered about dropping the DIA by 1" from stock. This works out to approx 3.7% change.

i have put about 5 thousand miles on these so far... the tread wear rating is only 200 but they wear pretty nice. they only appear to be about 1/2 inch shorter when put next to the stockers with a little wear on them. i haven't noticed anything bad about changing the tire size or anything else to be exact.

I think subrobo meant to post my pic because i have been talking to him about them, im not sure though?!?! Nice looking wheels

For everyone's info, he is running 18x8/9 front/rear with a +38 offset, tire sizes im not sure of and mine are 19x8.5/9.5, the rims are pretty heavy compared to stock and my rear 19's weigh close to 30 lbs, yes heavy!

the ride is a little stiffer than stock... i wouldn't mind it being stiffer then again i drive a 240sx on fullcoilovers set to 14 out of 16. the tire sizes are 235/40 and 265/35 front/rear. the wheels are a bit heavier but i wouldn't say theres a huge difference. i can't feel it when i drive like i can behind the 240(then agin the 240 is a banger).
