Thanks for the compliments guys. The wheels cost $2,200 and the caps $30 each. Tires are Dunlop SP9000's. 275/35/19's on the rear and 245/35/19's on the front. 8.5 and 9.5 Widths. Oh and tires were about $900 for all. Oh and I got the wheels from Joe at America's Tire in Carson California. He located these wheels for me in a day. He was great on Pricing and everything else!! If you buy from him tell him Tom sent you.

Blkspd height is perfect for me with his 19's. With my 20's the gap really filled up and looks dumped. A bit to low for my taste. I wish I could add a rubber or something like nascar and raise my car just 1/2 inch. To tell you the truth, Eibach says it lowers the front .8 and the rear 1.2 inch. I think it is the other way around.

blk6pd, your ride looks nice. btw, what offset is your front and rear rims? I was looking into 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 as well. Thanks.

CALi - if you're looking into going lower than the Eibach's, Sprint offers a lowering spring set that lowers the car 1.75", which would be more than 1/2" lower than the Eibach's and might be the look you're going for - check out Ducatiguy's ride, he has them installed...

btw, I still wish you would have went fat out back on your ride...

Re: Volk GT-C's GunMetal 19's on BlK 6pd Cp w/Eiba

Sorry to bring this post back up but I wanted to ask a couple questions:

1) Would anybody mind photoshopping his car to DG? Or does anyone else on the forum have this setup on a DG coupe? I just want to know how the gunmetal finish will look with the DG...

2) Also, I was looking at the Rays Engineering website and noticed that they have a finish for the GT-C's called "Mercury silver" which looks darker than the normal "Spark" silver and lighter than the gunmetal - it actually might be the perfect finish for DG - the only problem is that I have never seen this in real life on a car - has anybody else?

Where do you live? If you're in So Cal, then you could see it in person. I think gunmetal would look really nice on DG.
