^^ How much did those wheels cost? Do you happen to know the weight of each rim?

More pictures are always appreciated.

I got them for $1,500 flat. They weight 21.5lbs front and 23.5lbs rear so they're not THAT light. If you want lighter Enkei's RPF1s are the way to go.

I will post more pics once I get my Zeal's in a week or two. Coming from 19's I have a huge wheel gap right now and it's not a pretty sight

Not if you drop it low. Unless you're too scared to ride low.

19" wheels cosmetically look amazing for a street setup.

18" IMHO are the best bet for both cosmetics and performance. granted that you lower it a bit.

go 18", you'll get the best of both worlds.

I've already had 19's with big *** rear lip aka 'bling' style. I'm sick of that look.
I'll also be tracking my car starting next year so I went with 18's.

BTW my car will be SLAMMED so that'll care of 'looks small' department

Is that tire size correct? You have a smaller overall diameter tire in the back? Or you put the wider wheels in the front?

What's wrong with 35 profile tires? I'm personally running 255/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear. 18s with 35 profile tires look great when the car is SLAMMED aka low-rider's-creed lol

35s will have about 0.4inch shorter sidewalls than 40s, but you should have no problem with wheel gap since you have Stance coils

I also think you tire sizes will be fine. I'm running 35s on 18s too. It will look good you slam it but if not then if will have a gap. Definately go with coilovers.

35 series on 18's here. Looks good to me on my mild Hotchkis drop, but It would look better slammed.
