These wheels are gaining popularity around the modding world. I see them on other sites frequently. They look stockish but nice.
Don't listen to these guys telling you to go lower. The lower you go problems increase. Looks good as is.

Actually I have no ideas on the specs of the wheels outside of they are 19x8.5/10 f/r, Allen/Xtraboost was running them on his 350.

On tint, I drive at night 70% of the time (I get off work at 9pm), so for the majority of my driving tint is actually bad.

And yes it is definitely my DD (~25K miles a year) and I still eff up my lip on odd driveways and parking garages.

Tails were smoked by the infamous Ian/MV350 who painted them I believe. That man knows his crap.

And yes my car is the mutt of other people's parts I am planning now to keep this as my DD for a long time. I would add a second car before I get rid of this one. A convertible...???

What's wrong with your Mutekis?

Oh there's nothing wrong with the lug nuts themselves. It was using up literally the entire tapered end to sit right in the wheel holes, so wasn't very safe theoretically. Could just be me being paranoid, but I'll probably get Rays again in a different color. Leaning towards blue at this point but might get red to mix it up.

Thumbs up

nice drop, i like the f-sport look. not too low where you ahve to worry about hitting and scraping, but low enough to add a more agressive look, far from oem.
