Thanks guys for the kind words!!! Yeah I paid a bit more but oh well.. As for the weight of the rims, I dont remember but it wasnt that heavy when I lifted it. I'm too lazy to paint my brake capliers but I might get a brake upgrade kit. Now I feel my TL turns more heads when I drive it. LOL. Next mods: ATLP Quad Exhaust System here I come!!

I'm using the Nankang NS-II tires 235/35/19 they are only 450 shipped from onlinetires.com. I been through nitto 555 on my FD, toyo proxes 4 on my hatch and I have to say these tires are good for it's price, road noise is pretty quite brakes and grips fine also! Yes, these wheels are lighter than the stock 17. And I will take more pics!!!

All the 19's are temporarily out of stock on that site. I'll call the 1800 number today to see what the status is. That really is a KILLER deal and some great looking wheels. I wonder, black chrome or gold on my NBP...I think the gold would look sick on it too.
PS...I'm all over those Nankang's...I wonder how they'll hold up. I spent the extra money for Yoko's last time and MAN...they are 520 treadwear and lasted me only 20K. It's bs...a lot of those numbers are arbitrary and totally relative.
So the Nankangs are quiet, handle pretty well, and ok in the rain? How are they wearing? I guess too quick to tell, huh?

Ok...AND, quick question...+38 offset is the right one for us...they are the same size, right? No stagger? I like to be able to rotate tires. They look like they sit pretty flush for you.
1) Did you add spacers?
2) Did you have to roller your fenders? Front OR rear?
Thank you.
and also, you wheel guru's, can you confirm 100% that these will clear the brembos...LOOKs like it but if I spend the money, I want to KNOW.

Sorry I took a while for the pic's but here it is.....
The rims sit pretty flush with the rear fender with no fender roll....
The front sit the same as the rear with no fender roll.
I went with my friend to dyno his RX7...
He's running a HKS T51R
Going on the dyno at FNR motosports
The last run after 502whp it made 507whp at 22 psi.. but didnt take a pic I was too happy for him... I might buy it!!!

Dang...Thanks for answering all the questions and for posting pics.
I have a huge dilemma now...I want these wheels but now that I've seen that they have them in bronze, I want bronze. But only in 18"....
I called them directly and they are not making them in 19" for a long time. So do I go with a different finish in 19" or get the 18" in bronze. I liked the gold until I saw the bronze...I think on NBP bronze will look better.

I can't be a copy cat. Keep up the good work.
