Real nice! I like them a lot. Do you have better pics though? And yeah, what's the offset on those wheels? They're 19X8 right?

great pics...

FYI: you need to create separate pictures for your thumbs. Just resizing them using HTML doesn't do us any good. Every kb still needs to be loaded. I suggest using Photoshop and making images smaller...

my laptop almost crashed when I loaded those pics. Thanks.

the are TEIN SS, and yea, the back rubbed but i had someone roll the fenders....one the right side where it was rolled, the paint fukin cracked, and now i have to go back and have him sand it down and undercoat it to prevent further peeling to the outside....but yea, good looks comes with a shit load of problems...but the fortunate thing is, i had an alignment done, and i dont need and camber adjusters!!!hehe...im acutually very surprised, since my drop is pretty low

wth? My RH M5 rims are 19x8.5 and the lip doesn't look anywhere near as big as yours.

Must be the curvature of the spoke. :-/

The size of the lip is because of his off set.

Do you have a phone number for that place you got the rims at? Because I called America Tire in Daytona and the price for 18" was $380 a piece. Did you get a special deal?

i got hooked up...ordered the wheels since July of 2002...but now that they are out, and the manufacturers have gotten a good response from customers, they are inevitably going to raise the price...but if u want the number, PM me.
