Fantastic choice... the design reminds me of the Silverstone M6 with the Radenergie R20.(only less spokes)
nice find...very classic styling, simple yet sophisticated. sporty yet elegant.

I definitely want to get the rear the widest possible. But the largest rear diameter is 9.5" im not sure what offsets will do what..I guess talking to d2 will solve all of that.

HAHA this is true. I'm planning on lowering w/ Eibach Pro-Kits.

I still can't believe there's only a 1" difference in the diameter of the wheels in the first and second pic... I swear, it looks like night and day. It's most noticeable on the rear wheels.

Maybe it's just the angle and distance of the pictures, lighting conditions, and/or the construction of the wheels (multipiece vs. forged).

I'd really like to see more and better pictures of both sizes if they ever become available.

for all of you guys that can not see the difference in both pictures: firs picture the car has a front lip and maybe lower, this make a big difference when you see the same wheels in another car without front lip and not lower.

I like the advan connoiseurs, someone told me something that scared me out of buying them - the fact that they have no lip, they said that the rims will bend and get scratched on hard turns since the tires flatten and the spokes are exposed on a tight turn. Is this true? someone help me.

I like the advan RS's too, they look really good (no lip either though)

I think so, It looks like it's also sitting on tanabe springs, judging by the back being lower than the front. I like the lip in the third picture, just because its unique.

Why not get a 235/35/19 or 245 on a 19x8.5 rim? Stock is 225.
