Other than that, they look pretty cool, i'll try to post pics later
Were the blemishes in the color or defects in the rims themselves?

There were multiple blemishes in the finish of the wheel, there also seemed to be machining errors in some wheels, some of the spokes on some wheels still had edges which needed to be taken down, I love the way the wheels look, i just wish they had better quality control

Those are gorgeous, and the price is amazing. God this is tempting. Would the quality stop you from buying them again/recommending them, or is it minor stuff that doesn't matter?

If i could do it all over again, the only way I would buy the wheels is if i would be able to personally look over them one by one before delivery (which I did), otherwise, i would probably have passed on the wheels, I love the wheels, i just woudln't want anyone else to have to go through what I did to get a good set of wheels

for everyone wondering on the quality, i have the same set of 19"s coming in Monday, only in silver, not hyperblack. I'll be sure to post pics before, and after theyre on the car(assuming the quality is good so I put them on the car). Also, my rubber is going to be 245/35/19, 275/30/19.

To everyone that PMed me, for some reason my PM's don't seem to be working right, so as far as tire size, I have 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 the fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5, i honestly don't remember how much I paid for the set, i think it was around $1500 with tires(relativly cheap), and as far as offset goes, i honestly don't remember exactly what i got, i think they were 35mm front and 30 rear, but i may be wrong, the handling of the car didn't change enough to the point where i noticed any difference, I purchased a set from a company in miami,fl, i don't recall the name but they are an ebay store

Any other questions, post them in here cause my PM's dont work for some reason

ps: Thanks for all the compliments!

Oh yea, i forgot, if you guys are planning on getting the rims, the proper rear tire size is 275/35/19 not 275/30/19....the shop was sold out of the 35's so I got the 30's pretty cheap

Were you able to use your TPS with the 279's?

Thanks.

I love these wheels..

Just talked to a guy @ bestwheel.com in florida and got a quote on these wheels:

Staggered 9.5 and 8.5
Hankook Tires 275/30/19
245/35/19
Mounted and Balanced

*Says the TPS sensors will mount right up, his brother had these wheels on his Z
Free Shipping
--------------------------
Total= $1850

He said i could upgrade to Toyo tires for extra 300$, but the tread wear on the Hankooks is 278 so they should be just fine for me...
Just thought you guys might find this interesting.
