Hey Ed,
AL here, I think after seeing the car with your new 19" wheels I honestly say it looks perfect. I think by lowering it you are asking for headaches. The car may look cooler but the quality ride and feel will be gone. I also have the Ltuned susp like you and is very happy with the results. There are times when I ride 3 adults in the back and one up front and the last thing I need is to worry about scraping my undercarriage.
Btw I like your new tire thread design!! It was good seeing you yesterday my brother in law really liked your set up and has not stopped talking about how soon we should order the TTE lip and Ugo rear roof spoiler.

Talk with you soon my friend!

Absolutely awesome looking ride!!!! Way to go Ed!!!!

I have my sights set on a very similar style wheel made by HRE - hopefully next summer!! It also helps solidify my choice by seeing your SSR's on an L-tuned suspension.

The Goodyears will also be my choice of tires. You also mentioned that your acceleration has improved because of the lighter wheels. I am sure your handling has also improved because of the lighter unsprung weight! Keep up the good work!

L4Life, I have to agree, I think the Daizen Lowering (1.9) may actually make your wheels look smaller, currently the car sits low enough to look modded, but high enough to mainain some road presence! I say stay where you are.

See, us guys with the last name Williams know our stuff man!! Hey Al, i gotta PM you and see if we are related

thanks hameed ,and d again. you know what made me break into the bank was our last meet here at the tower shots , parked next to bluelex,alwilliams,and johnee78 , my wheels looked liked it should be on a go cart.. so they held me down and beat me to a pulp with bats until i gave in , and here it is ..


Egainer over in the photoshop made a very good suggestion that i too was thinking about , to add the jdm rear skip to fill the rear perspective better , at least from the profile bring the rear down to meet the side skirts and front lip

heres what i am ordering from steve (it comes prepainted and it mounts like how the tte front mounts)
