Have the L-tuned drop. After the picture the rear settled back down.

They are sized 8.5/19 and 9.5/19's MRR HR-2's in hyperblack

Better pics to follow, thanks for the comments,

How's the ride on those 19's? Bumpy, harsh at all? And could you post the tire sizes you are running with it. Thanks.

Looks great with those sporty wheels!

Yeah the girlfriend looked at it and said "It was a damn sporty Camry."

Bumpy compared to stock 16's of course, compared to other 18 and 19 I have had, no big deal...really rides out great. I would reccomend 19" my 18's felt to small, yet 20" pushes you to rub or get out of spec with the speedo. Which is no big deal to some but I didnt want any suprizes.

245/35/19 front
275/30/19 rear

those rims look really nice, I like that style rim with no lip, it makes the rim look a lot bigger!

Thanks, they almost have a OEM flavor to them. If you squint they resemble the 06 GS430 rims. kinda sorta

I agree. I think that's what makes them work well on the gold car. I wouldn't have thought so myself, but when I tried a set of 06 430 wheels on my burnished gold, I was surprised how well it looked. I liked it so much I bought HR2's in "hyperblack" in 19 inch.

ahhhh yes. A man after my own heart. I also picked these up in 18x9 titanium from Derrick a couple months back. I havent gotten around to pics yet. Maybe the fact that it's about 5 deg outside has something to do with it...lol. I love my HR2's on my Millenium Silver GS!!! They def work on gold also.
