My new wheels!!! ^-^

I just put the 19's (from 2005 Coupe) on my car TODAY!!! I'm really happy, as I'm sure you guys can imagine...so, tell me what you think!!! ^-^

**And in case you're wondering - YES, it rubs...in the rear. The fronts, running the stock Coupe size is totally fine. The rear though, at 245/40/19...combined w/ the lower offset...makes the tires sit almost flush w/ the fender. And, as low as my car is, it will touch w/ so much as a pebble in the road. So, I had to roll the fender. So, for those who are contemplating putting these wheels on your Sedan...either leave it stock height and never carry any passengers in there, or roll your fenders, or get 235/40 tires (the stretched tire should clear the fender).

^-^

Those wheels look better on the sedan than on the coupe for some reason. Nice.

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys! I took those shots right after the wheels went on...the car was very dirty & as you can see the sunlight was fading.

I'll take some nicer pictures today & post'em later in this same thread. Hopefully that way you can see better ^-^

Jimmy,

The combo looks awesome on your car. I thought about doing it, but am going for a slightly more aggressive look.

It's funny, but the 19's make your car look like it sits MUCH higher. Now all the people that said your car was slammed like a ricer suddenly stopped hating...

WOW, thats hot as hell. You know wat else you can do, you can powder coat the wheels to have a glossy black color. That will look good as well.
