Talking Finally ordered my RIMS what do you think??

I just ordered these babies and these are the specs. 19x8.5 in the front with a 1 and 1/2 in lip all chrome tires are 245 35 19 and in the back i got 19x9.5 with a 3 in lip all chrome and tires are 265 35 19, what do you guys think. they are three peice wheels so there going to take about 4 weeks to get to me from cali but its well worth the wait. if anyone has photoshop and would like to do me the favor of photoshoping them on a matador red is that would help alot also.....

cant wait to get them

I think they would look good on any color IS. The only thing I would like about them is that they might be somewhat of a pain to clean them with all those little studs (or whatever you call those things)

If it floats your boat, enjoy them. Don't let other people's opinions burst your bubble.

Just don't add spinners or rhinestones onto the wheel. Now, that's a line that I'll draw right now...
