Thanx. In case you're wondering, wax is NanoWax and I believe it is by Eagle One.

These wheels match the IS the best so far (IMO). Great Choice!! Never knew gold would look so good with Blue.

Ryuken,
I'm sorry but I don't have the off-sets for the rims. The wheel shop that I went through in Honolulu contacted Dazz to get the sizes that would fit. The car is on the regular suspension, not sport. The rims are 19" Racing Hart J8. The fronts are 8.5" wide on 235/35/19 Nitto 555 and the rears are 10" wide on 265/30/19.

They look nice. By the way if i were you, i would get 275/30/19. You will have more protection for the rims because the tire are wider, and the tirewall height will be a lil thicker. Plus 275/30/19 are close to stock tire Diameter than 265/30/19. Just my 2 cents.

yep, it looks like your rims/lip is sticking out further than the tire..

The wheelshop should know better than put those tire size on a 19x10.They will get scratch very easy, one pot hole hit and u have to have the rim fixed. I even scare with my 275/30/20 on my 20x10 that i don't have enough protection for the rims but it look okie to me. I hope they make 20x9.5 on mine wheel so that i will have more wheel protection from scratch.
