Talking Finally, I think I am done modding my car...for now

Its been a while since I sold my old set of rims. Just received the Volks CE28n in Mercury Silver.

Here's are the specs. 19 x 8.5 Front (+43 offset) and 19 x 9.5 Rear (+45 offset). I decided to go with Michelin PS2 235/35 19 in the front and 265/35 19 in the rear. Anyway, I just took a few quick pics and hopefully I can do a photoshoot soon.

Special thanks to Kevin from MVP. Great customer service and also JavyLSU, Pocky and Tommy for helping me bring the wheels to the shop since I can't fit all of them in my car .

Your title, "Finally, I think I am done modding my car...for now". I am glad you have found a cure. I can't find a way to stop moding it.

That is a clean ride!

The CE28's look really good in Mercury silver. What is the weight on the 19's?
Did they take long for you to get them?

Thank you guys for the comments.

LEXCESS, I believe those weigh about 19 or 20 lbs. I was supposed to get those in 90 days from the date of purchase, unfortunately, there were some kind of road blocks with my orders, so I ended up waiting exactly 5 months. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't take more than 3 months.

Looks nice. I am glad I saw your car with 265/35/19 and 235/35/19 PS2s because I was told by a couple other members that a 265/35 would be too tall and I would have to go with a 275/30.
Does your rear rub at all?
