Thanks Brotha,
Yeah I want some 19” in black or tinted black. I want some ideas though. Do you have any pointers?
I am thinking on getting
Front 19x9 +32
Rear 19x9.5 +38
Pirelli P-Zero A/S 235/40/19 and 265/35/19
Trying to fit more tire to inprove ride quality. Or else I would go with 20s.

20s might be a little too big but thats just my preference
I was gnna go with 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rear with vossen cvt but thats my preference again.
But I think your setup right now looks great overall.

I agree with you, 20” might be too big. I am going for 19s. I want to do an inch wider than stock set up. So 19x9 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. That would be perfect fit for 235 and 265 tires. I was thinking on getting Vossen CVT as well. Decisions 🤔

Lol that juts means we have excellent taste for detail and great mods 😁
I love the Max360 specially with the blendmount. Do you have the full exhaust or juts axelback? I am trying to see if getting the mud pipe would help with the droning at 2K RPM.
if you decide to get the taillights smoked, make sure you repeat it to them that you want them lite. I told them many times and still I feel like they came out too dark.
I smoked the front emblem but I think that I am going to take it off. Doesn’t really go unless I smoke the DRLs and headlights which I am not gonna do.

after having my full apexi catback system for a couple days, i can assure you getting the midpipe will not help with drone, i have it between 2000-3500 rpm but it doesnt bother me because the exhaust sounds so good!
