Default finally got my wheels!

after waiting for nearly 6 months, i finally have them on the ride. my car is on DF210's, wheels are 19x9.5 up front and 10.5 at the rears. it looks high even with the drop, so the plan is to get coilovers soon and lower it a little more.
in the meantime, enjoy the pics.........

Those wheels look amazing, great choice.
The stance looks pretty good - predatory, like this thing's ready to pounce.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I'm glad you guys like it. Yes, these are the Work D3S. I didnt want to do any fender mods and wanted as much lip as I could get, so Samson from Revison Audio sized them for me that way. Fronts have a +33 offset and the rears have +38. Lips arent too big beacuse of the wheel face design, but im happy with it.

custom orders takes about three months, and it did but when the shop was installing the tires, they scratched one of the lip.
I had an option to either get the tire mounting and balancing fee waived or get replacement wheels. Since Im already paying couple thousands, it might as well be perfect, so I opted for the replacement and wait another 3 months
