What sizes are your wheels, and did you do something to your fenders?
Don't settle on 19s on stock height. Just be patient, you will find the wheel you want.

My current 18s are very conservative offsets. 7.5 +42. I am running huge spacers..20mm up front and 25mm rears. My rear fenders are rolled flat and i rub slightly on the fronts on full lock turns. I am lowered about 1.75" all around. I plan to get vertex fenders up front so that rubbing will go away.

Yeah, I applied tinted overlays. Only about 5-7% tinted. Very subtle...looks sharp in person.

Haha, I sure do. I love it though....watching people double take on the road. The "Altezza Gita" badge is icing on the cake. =)

Thanks for the props! That's a nice front bumper man, what kind is that? From just the front pic, yours is looking clean too!

It is one from a company called ETD in Cali. I bought cause when I called he said that they had only sold about 5-6 of them, so I figured not to many people would have it.

Thanks for the props as well
