chromium black looks good, other color doesnt flow with your black/white theme.

I like the chromium too.

I dont think 9.5 will fit. Im dropped pretty low right now with megans. IMO I need at least a 40 series tire since NYC streets are so bad. I dont like stretching the tires either. I also have 10mm spacers all around.

I agree. 8.5 seems too small. I also voted for the Black Chrome...

don't get the wheels because the spokes will stick out past the edge of the rim and it will look ugly from any angle that is not directly from the side.

Rays lugs..which color for new wheels?

I need some extended lugs to go with my new wheels that will be here next week. I have 10mm spacers right now with extended studs and muteki lugs.

The new wheels wont clear with the spacers so I have to remove them. But Ill still have extended studs. I dont really like open ended lugs so it looks like my choice is rays extended closed lugs in black, red or blue. I did the best I could with photoshop to get the same color as the rays so you could get an idea.

The new wheels look like this and are chromium black. Imagine if you will, what they would look like on the car

Man this would have look tough with the right offset flat black, but will still look great with the one you chose. For the lug nuts I would go with black, stay subtle

I am looking at these same wheels, same color but the 19's. What is the widest tire that can go on the rear with the 19x10's in the back? I can't PM yet so I am trying to post so I can. Where are the pics of the new wheels on?

I have the 18x8.5 30off with 245/45 tires. I needed to use a dremel and cut out the inner fender so I would not rub on the rear

I suppose with 19x10 and 30off your going to need to stretch the tire rather far

I would say a 225/30/19 tire would fit without rubbing. But dont hold me to that
