Here ya Go!! I could go way lower with them, but that's not the look I wanted...letting them settle this week then I may go 1/2 lower in the rear.

Looks perfect right now, Shadez. Still missing your previous look, but those wheels are nice! - They remind me of Lexus' BBS-style rims from the dealer.

Thanks Celsior! Don't worry you'll see the previous wheels again after they get powder coated..Funny thing is I have 4 sets of wheels now...original chrome factorys, 17x7 winter set with blizzacks, 19x8.5's (previous square set up) and now the new Esr's..LOL

Wow, that's a lot of wheels! - I guess you could keep a set for the winter months; preferably a set that doesn't have a chrome/metallic finish. As far as I know, powder coated wheels do better in the winter, as salt destroys the chrome/metallic finish on rims.

What I said might seem a little irrelevant, since you have 17x7's for the winter, but it's just food for thought.

Update...Re-wiring everything to 16 gauge wire.. it's been very time consuming, but worth it.

3 sets of RCA for full fade..
upgrade power wire for amp from 8 gauge to true 4.
installing new amp under from passenger dash (i'll explain my reasons for location)

Also going back to square set up and ordered 19x9.5 with 235/35/19 tires to match from..
I didn't like the offset of the rear wheels with 265/35 tires...my offset was +22 and stuck out to far for me to like after lowering. Rear wheels should be here tomorrow.
