Agreed, nice clean look with those wheels.

Why the dislike of the Nitto tires?

In my 20 years of buying performance tires/wheels, I've tried Nitto twice and hated them both times. I bought a set of NT555 back in 1996 and took them off the car a month later.
Last year I tried a set of the new Nitto Invo because they advertized them as comfy and quiet. Yes, there wer more comfy and quiet than other Nitto's but that ain't saying much. The performance was okay but not great. But they are hard and loud and take time to warm up. I'll never try another Nitto again.

Default GTC01 Ultra Silver

I have had these wheels for almost two years and no complaints. Really strong wheels while light at the same time. I didnt like the Hyper Black color so i painted in Silver to match with my car and have a cleaner look.

Front: 19x8.5 +42 Toyo 235/35/19 23.0 lbs
Rear: 19x9.5 +42 Toyo 275/35/19 24.4 lbs
