So today, I went looking for new rims, i met this dealer who works for DIRECT LINE, based in FL but also deals in DALLAS. After talking to him for a bit, he asks what car do I drive, IS250. He gets all excited he has a 350, so he shows me this catalog that they have and what new rims are coming soon. Anyhow, this one caught my eye, he tells that they are coming off the boat in three weeks and if i want i can be the first in DALLAS to have them. :-)
Specs: Front - 19 x 8.5
Rear - 19 x 10
Tires I would run: Front - 235/35/19
Rear - 255/35/19
So question to everyone in here, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Reason: typo
The wheels don't look all that bad. But, I've never heard of Dakar wheels before. Questionable on the quality. If you want to get reputable wheels, like everyone suggested, Works, Volks, AME, HRE, BBS and SSR!
Tires I would run: Front - 225/40/18
Rear - 235/40/18 (stretched)
That's the first I've heard of fitting tires for 18's on a 19" rim... If I could do it all over again, I would go with 10.5 or 11's with stretched tires
yeah, my plan is to wait for them to get in, have them test fit see how i like before buying. Work, Volks, AME, etc. they're nice and all but after seeing x amount of them everywhere here, on here, the other forum, in the streets I kinda lost interest in them.
