P I C S!!! 19x8 Zenetti Five are on the whip!!!
Team TL,
I am happy to report that my rims/tires came in and I installed them today! Thanks to one of our fellow members "Yagsaahoth" who had them for sale in the black market, I picked these up for a very good price and extremely nice guy to work with!! They are practically brand new!
My car is not as clean as I want, but as you can tell, we got ridiculous snow on the ground and I ain't trying to have it all perfect and clean. Once spring comes around, I'll have more pics in the photo gallery. I put them on to do a test fit and took them to get balanced. They are coming back off sometime this week until March/April!! I hate winter!!
Ok, enough talk..here we go!
Specs:
Brand: Zenetti
Style: Five
Finish: Chrome
Size: 19x8
Offset: 45
Suspension Setup: H&R Sports 50103 / Stock Struts
Rubbing: very slightly against the bumper tabs, those are getting trimmed very soon, once I get a Dremel. It only rubs on very hard turns by the way, nothing serious at all.

That looks good! I wouldn't expect anything less than some bling-bling on your ride Jitty! And heck that's coming from someone that doesn't care for chrome.
BTW - what happened to the CL-s chromies??

Thanks man!!!! Yeah, you know me! I love the chrome..but TASTEFUL chrome is the key! This five star style in my opinion is simple, yet classy with the lip and flaring spokes. I still got my TLs chrome wheels sitting in the garage. I didn't anticipate this winter we've been having...just ridiculous. I hate the fact I don't have non chrome wheels to put back on it, but I am not about to buy a new set of TLs standard wheels. I got a powerwash right by my job, so at least once a week, I can spray them down. I know deep down you got love for the chrome !! LOL! Just kidding. I always liked chrome on white cars because it doesn't "jump out at you" as much since the car is already so bright.

Well, I got a perfect balance but still a slight shimmy at highway speeds. After all my research on these wheels and past aftermarket wheel experience, these wheels have a 73mm hub circles and our cars have 64.1mm hub circles. 9mm may not seem like a lot, but if those wheels aren't exactly centered, it will vibrate no matter how you mount them or what kind of balance you get.
So this morning, I picked up some hub centric rings from this tire shop that will fit the wheel and my car. That should eliminate any residual vibrations other than road feedback. I'll slap those in today real quick and update the thread later.
Thanks for all the comments you all. I truly think my exterior modding (other than Bilstein struts) is complete. AZ forums have totally corrupted my initial thoughts of NO MODDING when I first got the car in 03....AZ made my car what it is today!! LOL!! HA HA! Damn you all and your nice cars!!!

Well, got an update on the hub centric ring project. After putting them on and doing some runs up and down the interstate, I quickly realized that these rings are vital to eliminating vibration from these wheels! I still get normal vibrations (road feedback) on these 35 series tires, but not that annoying shimmy anymore! Thank God!! I am very particular about having a set of smooth balanced tires!
On a side note, this dude in a Type S was jockin my car hella hard! in parking lot tonight. Actually tried to pull up to where I was all fast and s**t and then got out the car as I was turning by him. His neck broke like Saddam's...LMFAO!! The attention these things have gotten in the last two days has been amazing!!
