Default Rim choices..

Hey guys, finally got a chance to put one wheel on lol. Im contemplating on which rims to use... =( Any suggestions would be great.. OR just keep searching for different ones..

I am on air, but my ride height is about 1 inch higher than the pictures posted. Ill be putting on spacers of course, maybe 20mm fronts 25mm rears? Or 15 fronts 20 rears?

#1 Modular Concept replicas.
19x8.5f +32 2in lip
19x9.5r +32 3in lip

#2 Lowenhart Ld1
19x9f +36 3in lip
19x10r +36 3.75in lip

the tires are gonna be 225/35/19fronts and 235/35/19 rears.

got both sitting in my room right now, i don't mind the brand name or not so whichever looks better.



Pictures taken by iPhone.

Not a fan of either, but the nod goes to the Lowenhart LD1 for the lip action, as other have stated...
