They're 19x9.5/10.5 +22 all around. They sit very flush with the fenders but do need some modifications.

I'm selling them though and moving onto something else. Too bad you're in Utah...
For anyone else that may be interested, Ill be posting a FS thread in the classifieds or you could just send me a pm.

Whoever starts making a 3IS conversion bumper will become a very rich man.

Looks to me like cutting was involved. The yellow tape is probably where the bumpers were mated. (first page)

I've thought about it, and contacted a few manufacturers in Japan and China but really... I like and want to maintain the exclusivity that I have created for myself with this new bumper. Because in the end, everyone that mods their car, that's what we all strive for: for our respective car to be different from everyone else's. So I think I'd rather preseve that than make a few extra dollars.

And besides that, the hassle of going through the whole process isn't worth it to me.

On a side note, for those following my build, expect to see a thread coming up towards the end of this year/early 2014 in which I'll be revealing my custom wide body conversion. One of my last major custom projects that'll be done to finish off the time attack look.

Yeah The wide body process won't start until I get my parts from Japan so it'll be 4-5 months probably. So I'll stay on these current rims and then I'll have to get more aggressive wheels, and I'm talking something like 19x13 (maybe 13.5) +0 or -5 (something around there)
