That's the Auto Couture kit, straight from Japan. Nothing replica about it, just pure JDM

You can readily order the kit from http://www.l-tunedparts.com. Be prepared with a fat wallet!

the wheels you photoshoped would be a 19x9.5 not 8.5. the kit in the secound pic is the auto couture kit on ltuned for $ 2300 the very first pic at the top in the same section you found the lip.

im not a great wheel buff but the 45 means larger lip right?

bigger lip depends on how wide the wheel is 19x9.5 has a inch deeper lip than a 19x8.5. I think that is how it works and it don;t know much about offset though.

johnny from your signature writup it says you run 19's. I see that most car places recommend the 40-35 series. What do you run?
