Let me know what you think!

I believe the choice of wheel styles is a very personal thing. The 6 spoke Volk are not my thing - but whatever rocks your boat.

 

[thsiao]

That looks very nice IMHO.

 

[2hunny]

Looks great, what's the offset, looks to be popping out a bit, but overall it looks great!

 

[cenix]

looks great! is your car lowered or did the 19's fill up the gap like that? hard to tell.

 

[Waiting4myCT200h]

I think it looks great! Just wondering if it's lowered too.

 

[Triquynh]

Offset is 45mm/stock suspension

 

[pomexcan]

Very Very nice... that's why I will eventually go 19's... plus it looks good at stock height...

I'll be interested to know how your mileage is affected by going 225 vs 215 on the 19's (diameter & revs per mile)

S-Drives:
225/35R19
Weight: 22.50
Diameter: 25.2
Revs/Mile: 823

OEM:
215/45R17
Weight: 21
Diameter: 24.7"
Revs/Mile: 844

BTW - I like the black vinyl or paint job on the roof. Do you have any better shots of that? Was thinking about doing that if I can get my grill (chrome piece) wrapped next week.

 

[Triquynh]

Some pics of the glossy painted roof!

 

[pomexcan]

Nicely done!! The chrome piece on the grill looks pretty good in black as well. Are you going to shoot the lower front grill black too?

Never mind... I see on the first post - it's already been done. Looks great.

 

[cenix]

what is the width of the wheel? 19x ?

 

[Triquynh]

19*8.5

 

[Nadal4Hand]

can you take pics directly in front and back of the car so i can see how much the wheels stick out of the fenders? i would really appreciate it.

Me too, but don't see that he's responded to this . Where did you obtain the OEM wheel weight of 21 lbs from?

 

[pomexcan]

21 lbs, is the OE 'tire' weight (got that off of tirerack)
The OE wheels weigh 24.6 lbs - which surprised me.

Thanks.

I agree the wheel looks pretty good, but IMO its the wrong offset or maybe 8.5 is just too wide for the wheel well.

Thanks pomexcan, that makes more sense to me.
