Default Finally got my new wheels on!

So I'm still pretty new to this Forum. This isn't my first post, but this is my first thread for pics of my car.

I finally bought new tires for my new wheels. (I waited forever for my old tires to run down...didn't wanna waste them ) So from scoping around this Forum, I decided to go with 19" Five Axis S5:F wheels in Bronze with the following set up:

Front: 19x8.5 (+33), 225/35/19
Rear: 19x9.5 (+35), 265/30/19
Tires: Hankook Ventus V12

I followed this offset set up from "fishnfool". (I hope you don't mind bro) I had Five:AD mill the front wheels like he did. I think his car looks great!

I don't have much Mods done yet, but hopefully this is the first of many. Here's the pics.....

Damn bro, I'm feeling the bronze on black a lot! I normally don't like those wheels but they look great in bronze. Great job!

Are you lowered?

Thanks bro. I thought Bronze was pretty risky cuz in the past I've always bought conventional colors for my wheels, but I love the Bronze on Black look too. Yeah I'm lowered, but just on springs (Tein S Techs). I'd like to buy some coilovers someday cuz I want the front to go lower. The springs will do for now I guess.

For this setup did you have to roll/shave/grind ?
And are you on factory suspension? or lowered?
