Need your thoughts on new wheels.

[Carbyfed]

Gents,

Walked into a wheel shop today and fell in love.

19 x 8.5 custom offset to suit.

Package with kumho tyres and lowered king springs 2k.

Think it will look good on the Radiant ebony colour?

Cheers

Doesn't drive me wild, but the price is certainly nice!

Would look good with Radiant Ebony! I like the simple design of the wheels! Good price too, do you know the weight of the wheels?

What size tyres? 235/35R19 would be best but you may need the rear guards rolled if offset is lower than stock (+50 from memory) ie. +45 would equal slight rub with the tyre size mentioned.

Could look ok, seems to be a good price too compared to what typical rims alone go for these days

[Carbyfed]

@ Shakespeare: Guy at shop said the same but because of custom fitment he had sai a +48 would be perfect. I guess my only question is would this be ok?Additionally would King Lows give a nice appeal on 19's?Thanks for everyones opinion, I feel like a little kid at a lolly shop!..Cheers

What wheel shop

[Caffeine Fiend]

I too am a fan of simple wheel design. Those could look very nice

[SlowMPS]

Good price.
I paid $2100 for my gayspec rims/tyres

Need some pics once installed.

[Carbyfed]

Well I've bought them! Roll in roll out with king Lows on Sat.

Will post pics then...........

Now to the gruelling 2 day wait..............

They wont look like 19's when fitted, due to the fact that the spoke sits so far inside the dish & outer edge of the wheel.
But as long as your happy

Very nice... Love 6 spoke wheels

I wouldn't go any higher than +45 offset

For 19x8.5's, about +40 would bring them almost to the edge of the (rolled) guards.

I have 18x8.5 with +45 offset, with 245's on, and I could have easily come out another 5-8mm towards the guards.

All the best though, very nice wheels

Pics (when fitted) or ban!!! :-P

Where from and whats the weight?

[Carbyfed]

Gone with +45 with tyre 235/35/19.

Wheel weighs 7.5 kg.

Just love the look..... 2 days then pics!

[RedDjinn]

THATS LIGHT!!!!!!!! esp for a 19'

I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong with the appearance..... Then I realized there was no stud holes! I'm guessing that's and the offset are the custom component occurring as we type.....!

Very light. Lighter than stock isn't it?

Stock is 10.5-11kg
7.5kg for a 19x8.5 is pretty insane...
