I LIKE IT!!! NICE JOB!

 

It's different for sure, and good price.

Thums up bro, I usually don't like the tail light vinyl but on your ride it looks sick.

well, I was trying to save some money by getting the best price on the tire. Unfortunately the Falken ST115 dont make the 275/35/19, so in order to keep the ride height a little lower in the front, I decided to just get a little smaller size. But later on, after I wear them out, I will switch back to 245 and 275 in 35 series...
and since I was running 225 and 245 in 45 series on my OEM, I really liked the ride quality, so I thought it might help with those size.. So far, I haven't really notice a lot of Understeer, but Im sure I will once I start hit it a little harder around the corner..

 

Thanks everyone for the comment!! So far, I really love the way the wheel look and feel! Just kind of wish I could of got the 19x9 and 19x10 set up, but didnt want to wait for another 3 months for it.. I got the whole set and the tires all for $2200 shipped! it was cheaper than what I purchase the Volks challenge.. So really can't beat that!! I was really surprised that there is still a lot of room to even get a lower offset front and rear! I might possibly get some spacer later... or just stick with it... might possibly powder coat them to Glossy black too? but we will see..

Got it all clean up tonight, will try to take some better pictures tomorrow, hopefully it will be nice and sunny tomorrow..

 

Nice man good job wit da rims

 

looks good on your Z....

 

whats the weight on them

 

I didn't really had a chance to weight them, but the package came in at 55lb for the front and 59lb for the rear, and maybe minus a pound for all the wrapping hee hee. and I'm not sure how heavy is the Falken tires, but overall, I was very satified with it. and thanks for all the great comment, I'm glad I made the right choice!!

 

looks great! I wish they came with a gunmetal or black center though... good job!

 

Those look nice, sort of like the new SSR wheels but much cheaper....

 

Thanks! I thought about getting the SSR from tirerack.com at first, but when I saw the price on it, I kind of steer away from it.
well, it has been a few days since I had them! I was very surprised that the ride quality was still pretty close to the 17's that I had. The only things is when you hit a slight crack or bump, you tend to feel it a little more. But other than that, I loving it right now! After long hours of working on my car over the weekend, I finally fix my window motor, and my headlight! Now, let just hope it will not leak and hold moisture now! Cross my finger! There is one thing I notice, I'm wasting more gas now after I upgrade to 19's? I wonder if anyone else is experiencing that?

 

Well, it has been almost 3-4 weeks since I had the wheels, and I absolutely love them!! I've got so many compliments on them, and I'm very happy with my choice. Recently I've also add Bilstein HD shocks to go along with my Espelir Spring, and it dramtically gave about 30%+ improvement on handling over the bumps, cracks, and pot holes!! and it feels like it hug the road a lot much better, the person sold me the shocks told me that I might need to pair up with a softer spring, but I thought I gave it a try, so far I really like it. Now I just need to get some sway to go with them, so I could really hug the corners. here is some recent pics...


I will try to get some better day time Hi-res pics later this weekend..

 

Those look like the stock C55 AMG wheels with a bigger lip

 

Damn, I knew they looked familiar--couldnt pinpoint it.

yep - Benz wheels for the Z - very similar to the Progressiv Spokes as well... I like them alot! (although I can't agree with the super skinny rubber you're using) - the 9/10 combo with 255/275 tires would be the ****!

I also like the other wheel that Racing Sparco has out (the mesh-looking one that is concave without a lip) - don't know the name, but I saw them on a CS Z and it was very DTMish as well... congrats again!

Thanks, Yeah I know about the tires, I was try to find the cheapest tires for now. But after those are wear out, I will put some 245/35 and 285/30 on them. I realize I need some more lip protection.
