Yea, I just found out they are heavy though. I am still into making my 350 as fast as possible, but added weight isn't going to help me. I need to find out actually h ow much they weigh before i just go blabbing my mouth quoting what others on here said.

thanks for the link cathafer.

miami250, peep the rims at the top of this thread. Not the bbs ones, but the two pics at the very top. I am totally digging these.

Ace Manta 19X8 (F & R)
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 235/35-19
Eibach Pro-Kit
OEM tire sensors work with rim and no rubbing.

Because of the size of the rear rims, I will be adding spacers in the rear within the next week. Here are some pics in the meantime:
