Well, after finally wearing down the crappy Yokahoma's to nothing, I had to bite the bullet fast to get new tires..so I pulled the trigger on new wheels as well. Love my 5 star OEM's, just wanted a different look than that & also went staggered. I also didn't want to spend a ton for wheels since the tires are expensive as well. I've been talking about doing this and finally have. These are not my first choice of wheels, but the ones i really liked were in 20's only or too expensive for my taste. So I went with MRR's GT1 chrome 19x 8.5 and 19x 9.5 . I went with the bridgestone re960 based on recommendations from others (reggie k i believe) and they also have a 40K warranty tied to these exact tires...can't beat that. Size 245.35.19 F and 275.30.19 R.
I believe with the car lowered and the alignment redone today, its a perfect fit for every day driving. It still feels like stock to me and no rubbing anywhere. So although there are chrome haters and I don't like chrome myself on most wheels, these worked for me within my specs and ties in with the chrome strips stock on the car. I had a hard time finding examples of Matador Red GS's in different styles including non/chrome. Anyway...what do you guys think. I'm anxious to hear since this club is probably have the reason i did this LOL. Some of the shots I will post are at the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium since i was down there anyway for a luncheon inside the stadium today.

The wheels look great !!! Nice ride

 

sorry about seperate post of pics..too tired to figure out how to string em together

 

Car looks great

 

HAZZARD...look at what i was driving on at the very end. The inner tires were worn when i lowered the car about 7 weeks ago but took longer than i should have to replace tires. They only split sometime in the last few weeks. The stock wheels had the neg camber before the springs were installed. I had all that corrected today with my alignment. I was pretty lucky i had no accidents so hope others take warning on their tires...

 

Very nice. How do you like the ride with the new shoes and the NF's?

 

nice and clean I like!

 

Oh Damn that looks good. One of the best colors for this car. Really like the rims. Great job man!!

 

rides looking killer bobby, but i just might go with the 20's staggered now. -_-and im not getting the gt1's anymore haha im going with the NAD 4 silver ones

 

i appreciate it!!!!...i've never had aftermarket rims so still getting used to that look but its growing on me for sure.
Flipside, the ride lowered and on these wheels rides great. I didn't want any potential rubbing issues and just thought the 20's would be a little too much since i do a good amount of traveling most of the year. So far i've been very happy & pleased. ...the MRR's cleared the big brakes with no issues...correct offsets.
ha

 

Very nice , & Matador Red is a beautiful paint, I like it not only on the GS, but on the IS too.

 

Nice rims, look great on the car...
