Got wheels , satisfactory??

Yup I finally got my wheels on Saturday , for all those that flamed at my previous 18s youll be pleasantly surprised, if not then flame away. I got a set of 19x8.5 for the front and 9.5 for the rear. With 275 30 19 rear and 235 35 19 front , Dunlop Sport 9000 , nice looking tire and an awesome ride. Gimme your thoughts. Pics take a while give em a few secs.

I think most people flame cuz most buy the FD for downright performance...throw some 19's on for the street and swap them out for the track...best of both worlds...now 19's on stock suspension would look gay...

yeah i guess they are just too big for me. But now I've come to start saying "That's why it isn't my car" when I see crap on someones car that I dont like. The 19s look good but seem to big. I'd say 18s is prolly the biggest i'd go.

Heheh thanks for the honest response, I only switched from 18s because the offset was wrong , they sat way to far under the fenders and looked extremely gay, Ill post a pic so you guys can see.

The rims are sick. I do think that 19's look better with a body kit but it looks good.

That car looks like a 4x4.... too big for me, but if you like them - that's all that matters

Looks nice to me, but alil to much wheel gap lower it abit. heh maybe you didnt lower it is cause it'll rub... Alil to much wheel gap for me rather have 18s with the wheels tucked under...
Very nice set overall..
