Yeah I probably am going to just wait until I can afford coilovers! I need brakes first though.

How much? Wheels only pls. Just want to get an idea of the current damage necessary. They look good. Do not curb.

Are you talking about getting a brake job or planning ot upgrade to a BBK? If your brakes are working fine I would do the drop 1st.

Beautiful wheels. Way to be a man and purchase the right wheels for the right car instead of some knock offs. You are one of the few enthusiasts left. Now just lower it, get a nice kit, brakes, turbo....

I'll keep that as a mental note: If you buy knock off wheels you aren't a car enthusiast. I see your wheels where stolen maybe if they where knock off's they wouldn't have gotten stolen, lol.

The price for four of them were just over 3500! The tires are Toyo Proxes T1Rs 245/35/19 in front and 275/30/19 in rear. Really didn't know how much an amazing set of wheels and tires can do for these cars. On my old oem set i could only do about 40-45 around a certain off ramp. I did over 70 yesterday and the car handled it like a champ. No I'm going with BBK! In my opinion go all out or don't even try. And really really appreciate that comment that I'm one of the few true enthusiast because this car is my life. Am a single man and lovin it!!!! The only reason why BBK next is because I have a tendency to play around on my cousins land which has an amazing road! He drives a 2001 BMW M3 so I have to push my car pretty hard to keep up with him! HAHA

Your front tires are 1/4" taller than the rears - expect VDC issues. Have fun on the road, just don't ball it up.

Nice wheels. But as far as being one of the few car enthusiasts, just note that car enthusiasm is not limited to those who can afford 4K plus on wheels. People have different priorities. Have fan and enjoy the compliments you get.

Well then the company you ordered them through should reconsider selling wheels to all makes and models. The fronts can not be taller than the rears - they should have known that. Take them back and get 275/35/19 rears, and your problems will go away magically.
