I will take better pics (with the SuperCrystal lugs! ) tomorrow. Didn't have much time today and the car was hella dirty.

Damn do I love the rims! For those not paying attention, they are Altstadt IVs in 19"x8.0" and +47 offset with Yokohama 235/35ZR19 AVS Sport Max Performance tires. After three months of waiting, they are finally on and they look great!!!

The ride doesn't even feel really bumpy like I thought it would... like the Comptech springs, on smooth payment its perfect but as soon as you hit a bump you can feel it a tiny bit more than stock. But its not even that bad. The shop put 40PSI in the tires... the max is 51PSI. I'll probably go put like 45 or so in there tomorrow and see how it affects the ride.

They rubbed in the back cornering fast with with 4 people in the car (2 in the back). Since then I have trimmed the plastic piece back there and we'll see how it does tonight with 5 people in it. Should be fine I think!

Every few minutes I go look out the window hehe...

sweet stuff nate!
i love it.. wish i had $$ and could be bling bling like that

Guest

Congratulations! Those 19" look fabulous! I'm also thinking of putting 19" rims on but afraid of rubbing. Anyone have the Lowenhart BS5 Super Crystal 19x8? If you do, does it rub and what tires did you use? Sorry Nate, for asking this under your topic, because I didn't get too many responses posting in the tire/wheel forum. After all, if I am going to spend that much money on rims, it'd better fit w/o rubbing, thats my primary concern. How is the ride though? I hope its not too rough compared to stock. In the meantime, hand me a box of tissue, can't stop drooling over your pics

Nate,

What the Hell!?! I thought you got custom Ronal Bears in 19"!?! Man, now I am disappointed.

You had better chain a guard dog to your frame or something, especially in that neighborhood!

j/k looks sweet, but 19's wouldn't work here, too many potholes (you should see my street) Have fun cruizin' and big pimpin'!!!!

Oh yeah, looks great! I could never put rims that sweet on my car if I had to park on the street. Good luck with them.

Way to go man but now you gotta do something about those damn rusty TL rotors! With all that rain the rust will be all over your pretty wheels - especially the inside. Paint 'em like I did.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I love the rims, should've been the first mod done! Really makes the exterior of the car. Worth every cent... except... I should've gotten dubs!!!

Here's some pics of the SuperCrystal lugs:

Where did you get the crystal lugs at? I have been looking for those for about a month now...

TLover8888

hey Nate, from what i see in your pics, were you one of the original Goonies?

Bitium

Well, Is not so much about the weight, but I personally don't like chrome!!! Is like a girl wearing a 100k diamond on her forehead.....no one would apreciated the beauty of the rest of the face. Just my opinion. Plus too much $$$$$.

Women wearing fat ass diamonds doesn't make them any less appreciated. Just kinda makes you remember shes taken and you have no chance. IMO the rims just set off the car. They do turn a lot of heads... but the thing is, the closer you look at the ride the more you can appreciate it. The rims turn your head, then you see the bling-bling lugs, keep looking and I'm sure you'll keep finding more to look at.

Yo word up fo sho we gots that gurple over here in the wizest my nig!

Ahh... ricey!? Its a bit more sporty IMO, it gives the front end a more pointy look, but I wouldn't go as far as ricey! Especially with how TLon19s did the mesh (I don't like the Mugen symbol there). To finish off the front end I'm probably going to put mesh in the three holes in the bumper to match the grill.

I live in a place called Highpoint... come look for me there! j/k
