A couple quick pics - New 19s are on!

Sorry about the quality (bad pics, dirty car, etc.) but here are my new 19s with my Neuspeed Sports. It sits about 1 finger gap between the tire and fender all around, but I have been told it will settle lower. Anyway tell me what you think!

looks sweet man! take the front plate off though IMO. I love black cl's with dark rims.

Only thing is that lips always make the wheels look an inch smaller. They look like 18"s, but they still look sick. Oh and the drop probably won't settle much at all. Maybe like a centameter in the front if your lucky. Thats what always happened to me anyway.

BTW-fuck UPS!

I cant take off my front plate because the bumper is all fugged up behind it... I had my front plate bracket and my splash guards painted to match the body instead. I also am getting some smoked plate covers which will help...

The tires are 225/35/19 Toyo Proxes - so far no rubbing at all!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

btw - Thanks Dust for hosting the pics!

Do your tires make the ride really harsh? I'm never getting 35 series tires again. Especially on 18's.

The ride is much firmer than stock, but is still pretty good... I really dont notice unless I hit a bump, then it can be a little harsh... There is no other choice for 19s though - I dont think a 40 series tire would fit...

that shit looks HOT, and I dont usually like the whole "knight rider" look ...I think a red light that goes back and forth would finish it off nicely.....jk...thats a clean CL you should be proud.

In dumb talk, it's the length from the top of the rim to the top of the tire. the smaller the number, the shorter the lenght. Stock tires are 60.

Wow, sweet ride! I like the rims...I've love to do some just like that, but too much city driving on shitty ass roads.

What percent is your tint tmoth? It looks darker than 35.

ok thank you for the translation

so i would assume that the lower that number, the harder the ride is and the easier the tires are to pop if you hit a huge pothole?

Any rubbing?

I love the way 19's Look.

But even if i find a great deal on a set of rims 19'' low profile tires last 15k miles if lucky!

and 19" tires arent the cheapest !

No rubbing at all... I am startin to wish I dropped it a little lower now tho. After seeing everyone with air I am getting really jealous! I got a sweet deal on the rims/tires and they are still like new but I wont be looking forward to the day when I have to buy new tires :'(
