Ok, I have some time now.

They're 19's. 8.5 front / 9.5 rear. Now, I don't want to disappoint you guys, but I stayed pretty conservative. You can see the lip sizes with the $20. The offsets are 41, because I don't want to mess with fender mods. Going with a fat setup today, and putting the springs in (Eibach pro). I'll probably upgrade to Tein CS later on down the line, but we'll see how it looks and feels today. I'm going more for comfort than sportiness. I got a body kit in mind and the TV tuner/navigation mod and I'm done.

i am not really feeling the three piece rims. I would rather go with 1 piece since they are less pot hole prone to be dinged. anywho, congrats on new rim

I've been trying to find that out myself. My gut feeling is that they are not. If so, I'll be picking up some rings when I mount them on today.

It's cool. Different strokes for different folks. But, I love em! 2 hours to tire mounting and springs install! Why does time at work go so slow?!
