Everyone else is doing it, why can't I? LOL

Well last year i went through too many sets of wheels just getting bored or not liking them... last 2 aftermarket sets i had were works.... first being:

cr-kai
18x8.5+38
18x9.5+28 i think?



Then went to schwert sc1s
18x9.5+12 and ran a 5mm spacer to make them +7
18x10 +18





And i just got tired of the wheels so i went back to stock type s wheels... i ordered spacers and said forget it 25mm wheel spacers are good enough but then started seeing more and more modded cars again as it became warmer and said u know what forget it .... sold the type s wheels and picked up my new wheels...

19x9.5 +20 all the way around
sitting on 225/35/19s








Tell me what u think they are weaker then my last set up but i like them... was thinking about a 10-15mm spacer for the rear... we will c.... and going a little llowerrrr....

Weaker than your last setup? I disagree, they're my favorite of all them. Awesome TL.

I like all of those wheels but I definitely like the last set the best. BTW you're brave for driving in DC...last I remembered those streets are in terrible condition.

Yeah looks like the VMR 710 (701?). I think you're newest setup looks the best, but I'm a sucker for a concave wheel!! I didn't know VMR made it in 5x114.3 though. There's a guy locally selling some that are 5x112 but I don't think they'd fit properly without adapters...plus he had them powdercoated a candy purple color so I'd have to change that too hahah. Look sick though!! Drop looks good and practical, no lower if it were my car.
