Default I'm just going to leave this here...(new wheel content)

Added some newer daytime shots on page 2 and coilovers installed on page 3!!!
My new shoes arrived today! Stance SC-5 in matte silver with chrome lips. I know, they're essentially replicas of the Vossen CV3, but the spokes, step lip, and chrome lip differentiate them from the Vossens. That, plus the CV3s aren't offered in 19"s... so, specs on these are 19x8.5"/9.5" 35mm/38mm offsets F/R. Mounted on Achilles ATR tires, 225/35/19 and 245/35/19 (I wanted 235s for the front, but would've had to wait like 3 more weeks.... ). I didn't take many pics of the wheels pre-mounting, the UPS guy followed me up my driveway after class today and I ran them down to the shop to have 'em mounted, I was too excited. It got dark out, so I'll add daylight pics tomorrow! Also, they were missing a centercap when they arrived, already remedied and have one coming in a few days. Also, I'm ordering BC coilovers this week, hoping to have my stance dialed in for the ATL Hennessey Lexus meet the end of this month!
These shots are not great by any means (didn't realize I had the camera on manual focus until it was a little late and it was getting dark, so yeah...) but comments and criticisms welcome

Looks good will look nicer with drop do they offer wider options they will probably tuck in once you drop.

They only offer those widths in the 19". 20"s come in 8.5"/10"/10.5" and I debated 9.5" all around, but they would be pretty close to the front fender, and I don't feel like ruining the fenders, plus I like being able to have a good turning radius, so I opted for the smaller fronts. If they tuck, I'll add a spacer, no big deal. I'm not looking to be "stanced" or for internet fame on all of the stance blogs. Just want some clean wheels and a clean car that I can drive and enjoy, haha

That's one CLEANNNN SC, those stance wheels are starting to grow on me, one question though, why so many weights on the rear right wheel?

Thanks, and I'm honestly not sure, they were on it when i opened the box... same one was missing a centercap, but they're kind of an eye sore, much like the rusty looking discs, lol. I've got some work to do

I understand. Believe me when I say I'm not into the stanced movement and internet fame either lol. My wheel setup is the opposite of the stance trend I go for max width high offsets and maximum meat lol. I'm running 10's up front and 12's out back with 255's and 315's.

So clean! Love the red! Gonna look so good once you get it sitting right. Great car man, keep up the good work! In for more pics!

Btw, what are you rocking for your low beams and city lights? Look like clean white light. My city lights have more bluish hue than I would like and I'm looking for something more pure white if you have a recommendation.

Those wheels look hot.

Do all the wheels have the same amount of weights on them? They wouldn't bother me but I wonder if the fact that a center cap was missing from that one in particular means that ther eis something wrong with it. It may not be balancing out very well and could be someone's returned item. Just sayin'. Wheels look really good though!

You should've went with wider tires. Wheels are going to be sunk with those offsets when lowered.

Beefy, I can dig it! I'm not that brave, yet, haha!

Thanks man! And they're 6000K 35 watt HIDs. They have a bit of a blue tint in person, the picture makes them look whiter. If you want white, look into 4500K, that's like a factory pure white light I can't wait until it's lowered! Hopefully by next week-ish!

Thanks! and no, that one was the only one with a bunch. The rest only have one or two. The shop that mounted them said they all balanced fine and it rode fine today, so I'm not sure. I don't like them either, but I guess I'll learn to live with it unless they become an issue. Its funny how much they stood out in those pictures, haha.

Not looking for hellaflush stance, just a decent flush fitment and about a 2" drop. I might throw a small spacer on the rears depending on how they look once the car is dropped. I wanted wider front tires, but didn't want to wait that long or pay more for shipping twice, so I settled for the 225s. they look better in person, and should look even better when its lower
