Got some new shoes...
I needed to get rid of the chrome shoes my car came with.
These are TSW Nurburgring, matte bronze.
Front 19x8 et35
Rear 19x9.5 et41
I re-used the tires that were on the stock wheels as they still have lots of life left in them and I commute 140 miles a day minimum. When it's time for tires I'll bump up to 265 or 275 in the rear.

I see how it is.. I guess me and Murph can go grab a drink with other car friends since we're not cool enough to hang out with you today

MRM and bronze do go nicely together. How's the fitment in the rear? Any rubbing issues?

No rubbing at all. A slight stretch on the stock size tires, but no other issues.

Great! Thanks. A much cleaner look than the previous set up.
