Just a quick snap with the phone, weather turned pretty quick and was unable to wash her and take her for some real pics....

19x10 33et w/ 245/35/19 FK452s, 19x11 32et 275/30/19 FK452s

Tires are all buggered around the beads and wont hold air longer than 1day or so...

All of my old falkens have stretched just fine.

The holding air issue is due to the fact that these tires were purchased in 2007 and have been on and off rims probably 7 or more times, despite still having ~80% tread remaining, and the last tire-monkey to dismount them buggered up the beads.... We were hoping they'd still be able to seal but apparently not!

Already ordered new 235/35 and 265/30 fk452 tires. Should be here by next weekend!

I decided to go for a different look and started to strip the black paint off my wheels. I'm really digging the polished lips. I only stripped the lips, but some of the spokes got it too. My plan is to repaint the spokes black and leave the polished lips. What do you guys think?

Have you ever considered painting the faces/spokes in a matte finish to match the paint? Aside from that, do it! Maybe bring back some of the chrome cladding and window trims to get that sort of "outline" effect at night

I'm re-doing the faces in a gloss black. The lips will stay polished. As far as the car goes, I dont like chrome, so its staying black.
