I bought a set of Momo fxl-2 rims and wanted to see if anyone has pics on their car? I am going to be lowered on DF210s and 98 DWP GS400.

thanks man, yeah i saw that pic before. I was just hoping someone had pics on a GS. I picked up the 19s for 500 total, but i wanted to see a pic before i go buy tires and have them mounted. They are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 + 38 offsets.

Yeah, I think they look pretty decent in my garage, just unsure how they will look on the car. Sounds goofy huh? hahaha. Mine aren't black though, I got the ones that are like alloy and a stainless lip.
I am pretty sure when the car is lowered and the rims are on it will look decent.
Im new to the GS400 so i am thinking its some trial and error. Picking up a used Carson Tuned exhaust and also have a set of Brembo front and rear rotors that I will be putting on soon. Is it just me or do other guys end up with a garage full of parts that haven't made it on their cars yet?

The size and offset should work no problem but you definitely got a good price on the rims.

Default pic of my rims

here is a pic of the rims I have, just need the fron tires and I will try them out. I went ahead and got 275/30/19 for the rear, just need 245/35/19 for the fronts now.

Thanks, Yeah I think all one color looks much better too. I figure if I dont like them I can get my money back out of them and keep the tires since most staggered setups in 19s are 8.5 and 9.5 so I can use the tires again.
The more and more I see these cars and how people modify them the more I change my mind on what I want, but we shall see what these look like.
I need a set of Kuhmo 245/35/19 for the front. I have a set of 2 Michelin pilot sport as that are 245/40/19 if anyone wants to trade or needs this set id sell them. I think I just need to post them in the wheel and tire section.

They are actually used, the guy just had them polished before I got them. I cant wait to sell my 245/40s so I can get the 245/35s and get these on my ride. Next I will put on the df210s which are sitting in my garage. I think they can't look too bad, maybe not as awesome as some others on here, but they were cheap and they have to look better than the factory 17s.
