Nice. I'm not usually a chrome fan, but I have to say those look great on your car.

Actually, those are polished; not chrome. I'm not really a chrome fan either but I love polished wheels.

Thanks everyone, you are right they are polished... 19x9.5 and 19x11 and my car has the frpp springs. I hear these can be a real pain to maintain but I figure if I stay on top of them an keep them sealed I'll be alright. Plus they look damn sexy when cleaned up.

I think 19's are perfect on these cars, my own personal opinion I thought my stickers looked too small and 20's were just a touch big. 19's seem to be the perfect fit. I just hope these 295's in the rear hook better then my eagle f1's. Or someone better make a 305 or 315 that will fit her perfectly. Can't wait to see how the tires feel, they only have about 15 feet on them from me. In and out of the garage one time

I think I could go a touch lower but the sportlines might be too much and require new shocks/struts. I might start saving for a set of coilovers...

New wheels and tires look awesome Zak!

What size tires are on there right now? You may just need a bigger size to fill the gap. Nitto makes an INVO in 275/35/19 (26.57dia-fronts) & a 325/30/19 (26.77dia-backs). They are a hair smaller than the 27dia stockers, but not enough to make a big difference.

Wow man. That's really all I need to say, but, I'll say more. Your car is absolutely to die for. You should be very proud
