Thanks for the complements, guys. You nailed it, Ice350. It's Carson sides and rear with Autocouture lip. I modified the the Carson sides towards the front part. I cut off the top part so as to give a continuous line to match the Autocouture front lip. Not perfect lines, but turned out very decent. So what do you guys think is a fair price for the wheels?

I understand the mod bug though. Hard to advise on prices. I think people usually start off with more than they will settle for and work their way down. The final price will be determined by how bad you want to sell.

Yeah, there definitely are many factors around pricing something that's very subjective. Sold the car stock already so I'm just parting out everything. Gathering the proceeds now for my next project.

Hoping you guys can help me out with the right tire sizes to go with, I'm going to be going with 19x9.5 +22 in the front with 19x10.5 +22 in the rear, the drop will be most likely with the Tanabe NF, so 1 inch to at max the DF at closer to 2 inch drop at most. I'd like to be able to use the taller tires, 35(maybe even 40)profile tires, and least drop, and result in the least fender gap, and max flushness while maintaining smooth comfortable ride. I know that's a lot to ask for, but I'm sure it's do-able. This is going on a 06 GS430
