thanks man, they are actually gunmetal, lol. i loved the look of the stock color so much, i had to keep it the same color. the usb/gunmetal combo looks really expensive/classy to me.




i mounted the rear on just to see how flush it will be. looks flush and wont rub, i could even add a spacer in there if i want. i will be going maybe quarter inch lower when i get the BCs on.

sorry for the poor lighting, iphone camera and night pics.

The TE37's are going to look really nice on your F. I've always wanted a set of these classic wheels. What offset are you running? If you don't mind me asking.

thanks man. trust me, the initial purchase seems like a lot but it's worth it. no pothole will bend these. ive driven on my last 19 on my other car with no tire on it because of a blow out and when put on the balancer machine, not even the slightest bend. very strong and light. enkei's cast process can be light as well but they bend quite easily. i use to work at a tire shop so ive seen it all.

19x8.5 22 offset (wanted to keep the front nice and light)
19x10 30 offset. i tried a 5mm spacer just to see and it still clears. going to try a 10mm spacer w hen i get my lug nuts in. or just upgrade the tires to 285/30/19

Wheels aren't my style. Maybe because I love the stockies so much, but they look good. Still one of my favorite Fs
