looks nice! Yes, I was reading other forums on here and most ppl say 19's are better for everyday driving and 20's are more for show/bagged cars.

My prior IS on RSR Downs with Verdex Axis wheels (similar to your Rohana's).
19x8.5 +38 235/35/19
19x9.5 +38 265/30/19

Perfect wheel size/drop setup to me, as a daily driver.

What kind of exhaust do you have? How do you like it?
