Default HP Racing EVO's

I was thinkin' about gettin' these rims... 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear with Nitto tires, the total cost with shipping, the products, mounting and balancing will be 1900 after taxes, is this a good deal?

also, does anyone know where i can find pics that compare GS's with 19's and 20's? I'd like to see the size difference and how they effect the appearance of the car.

Thanks

If you go for the appearance, 20's are the best for GS since they are 1" taller than 19's. So 1.5" drop on 19's has the same gap as 1" drop on 20's. Unfortunately HP racing does not offer 20's on these model..

Here is how my car looks with 20's drop 2" on Tein CS:

by appearance, the 20s with a nice drop will look a lot nicer on the gs than 19s. if you search my gallery you wil see my car with old 19s volks and new 20s hre.

but if you want the least hassle, 19s are definitely ideal. with 20s you will have some issues to deal with but imho it's worth it
