Default New Wheels

Finally put my new wheels on. Took awhile to get them but worth it I think. Just thought I would share this picture with all of you. Have a good one....

I think it's just the way the picture turned out. It is dropped but only 1". Eibachs don't go to low but I really do not want to drop it any more. The ride is so good right now that I just don't want to ruin it. If I wanted it lower, I would own a Honda.....:eek:

Default Looks Nice...

The setup looks great!

So you got the Eibach suspension (Springs and sways)and RMM lip and spoiler since I saw it last July...

Are the AXIS staggered?
Did you put 225/235 tires on there?

What's the lip on those rims?

looks good, keep it up.

The rims are 19x8 all the way around with a 45mm offset. The lip is approx 2 1/2 inches wide. I did that so I can rotate front-to-rear. I drive alot so I had to do it. Also the Toyo's are exactly cheap either!! Yes I am running 225/35 19's. I do wish the stance was alittle lower but I just don't want to give up the ride. I rode in an IS with the H&R's and I myself did not like the ride. It looks better but sometimes you have to give alittle here and there..... Thanks for the kind words... I am gonna try to take a better picture when it stops raining here in Cali. I know, Rain in Cali?? It is a rare occurence...

Looks real nice. Like the roof spoiler. I have been thinking about getting one myself. I had the Alteeza roof spoiler but sold it before I put it on. Just did not think it looked right for me. But now I see the L-Sportline one, my mind is changing. I also wish I would've gotten the H&R springs because they drop the car alittle more and it looks better. Guess I will have to get over it.....ok I'm over it. Anyway, nice ride...

Hey Neil Rozz,

Are the C5's on the white IS in your link all 19x7.5's? Or are they staggered with 7.5's and 8.5's??

Thanks!
