Hey guys, new here!
Hey guys Im Jay and I own a 04 satin silver auto (i wanted manual but parents...) and the mods on it so far is
-injen cold air intake
-A-spec all around lip kit
-cleared headlights
-19x8.5 +34 offset gunmetal sf challenge ( not on yet, coming in 2 months)
-quantum 27% window tint
Well I wanted to ask yalls opinion on the 19' 19x8.5 +34 offset gunmetal sf-challenge on my satin silver...you guys think it'll look good? Either way its on order and being made as we speak. It costed me $2450 shipped for all four rims and said that it would take a good 2 months for them to come in. Well I post the pics once they are put on. I just wanted some outside opinions on the gunmetal/silver look because it seems no one has flossed that look yet, cept maybe some folks with the gunmetal a-spec wheel package. I know that the dark silver cars with these rims looks good, but still can't picture how it would look on my satin silver 04 tl since the silver is significantly lighter^^ well let me get some criticisms....also think these will rub or have any issues? I plan on also getting the tein s-tech springs to lower the ride a bit, and wondering if I need to get any other parts for em like struts/cambers etc....im not an expert at these things so thats why im asking you guys...I noticed the volk racing thread, I checked it out so +34 offset, thats the way to go?

Welcome to the site Jshmak 
Im going to move this to wheels and suspension, I think you'll get some good feedback over there.
I have a pic of my buddies SSM CL with gunnmetals Lionharts on it. It looks good, not sure if it will help you. Let me know

IMO, to get the optimum performance from the stiffer, lower springs, you need aftermarket, stiffer shocks/struts. Of course, some people will disagree with this. Truthfully, if the aftermarket springs are soft enough, the stock struts might be able to handle them. But in most cases, the stock struts are too soft. The impact? The car will actually handle worse than when it was in stock form.
If you don't go crazy lowering your car, camber kit USUALLY is not needed. Of course, put the car on the alignment rack first, after lowering, to determine if it needs a camber kit or not.
Oh, and WELCOME!!
