New Shoes! (Lowenharts Br-5)

I've always loved these rims and coincidently found a guy that had them sitting in his garage. Enjoy!

I don't have much info as far as specs for these, all I know is that they are 19's. The guy that I bought the from did not know the offset. FLAME ON!

the rims do look good. it's weird cause if they weren't chrome, i don't think they would look good. but i don't like chrome.

so 2+2=5

both of those makes sense in the same world

not exactly sure how low it is but I have only 3 threads left on the Tein coilovers before it is completely down.

Thanks all for the compliments!

You sure those are 19's? Why do the stock 17's somehow look bigger then the 19's. Still looks tight. Are you scrubbing the the flap behind the bumper sitting that low?

Thanks everyone for the input. I think the stocks look larger because of the design of the rims. Dropped on Tein Basics. Yes they are 19's they do to appear small sometimes i look at them but none the less I LOVE IT!

NICE!!! I like it a lot. Chrome only looks good on WDP and NBP in my opinion. Between you and ACURATEin, I've been convinced to turn my Tein coilovers down this spring

I like the wheels, but they look a bit narrow, like they're less than X8...could just be my eye sight, though...

i think those wheels looks okay, but fitment wise it belongs on a 2nd tl. what is the point of buying highend wheels and run spacers. imagine if he got a correct set he can have an extra inch of lip versus this set with small lip and tons of room between the caliper and the disk after the 25mm spacer. the wheel looks like is not wide enough too.

i would sell them for more and profit from it and buy something else fit better. wheels will only look good if the fitment is right.

Yea you are probably right bro but for $1000 for a set of 5 with tires, I don't think I can come around a deal like that especially for some 19in Lowenharts! I appreciate your input though.
