wow 20's are great too!! your front wheel looks aggresive. what;s your front offset?

I am afraid to go 20's because it will sacrifice too much ride quality and comfort + the fact that the wheel is a 1 piece, scared it gets bent easily over bad roads and holes.

Ahhh. And i think the rear lip you have on there makes it look lower...looks like an ING's? I have the GFX rear on mine.

You sure about that d2?? I know in the past you guys seemed to have a lot of problems with what you "thought" would fit and what didn't.

Ok, so I guess you MUST be talking about the 19" GT1 and caliper clearance thing from about 2 years ago.

We don't confirm fitment until we test it on a car. At the time MRR reported they DID NOT fit because they had yet to test it.

If you were able to test it before us and MRR, congratulations.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, knock it off with all your snide comments.

Thanks I appreciate it.

ok chill man, now we know that 19" MRR GT1 fits on the car, we all should get one

thanks to all who have contributed with pics..appreciate thatI think I'm set with this wheel despite the heavy weight. I heard front is around 25lbs, rear 28lbs. Same as stock 18" so I guess I'm fine.


Now I'm still debating whether to go with 275/30 or 265/30 in the rear. That's all my concern for now. Btw for tire brand I'm going with:

Yokohama S-drive for front and General Exclaim UHP for rear. Dont wanna wait for 8-weeks back order for s-drive in 275/30.

what do you guys think?

Thank you... The person concerned about the fitment should not worry at all and The people at D2 are professionals so you should not worry one bit but to ease your mind I am running 20X8.5 in front with 235/35/20 with 5mm spacer and no problems with rubbing and enough lug nut to turn for tightness. the rears are 20X10 with 275/30/20 no rubbing and is at I believe +43 on the offset but I wanted to bring it out some more so I placed a 5mm spacer as well and still no rubbing and is a perfect fit not to in and not so sticking out just right.

here are a couple more pics.
