Default New Wheels - Please comment

Hi All, im new to modifying and have recently had some new 19inch wheels fitted. Took me ages to pick though because i wanted to keep it looking smart rather than gangster!

Sorry for the poor/lack of pics but its all ive had chance to take so far, and id like to see what you guys think.

Bear in mind that here in UK we have less/different choice of rims than US without spending a fortune!

Look better than stock with a stock feel to them. I love how the car is filthy in the before pic and all shiny in the after!

I can see a big difference, going from a 17" to 19"... would look even better if you lower it a bit more...

Wow, they look like 20's (especially the rear) - not a lot of rubber around those wheels. It is an improvement over stock, certainly. A set of lowering springs (or coils) would provide a huge benefit. What are the specs of the wheels?

^ Yeah, I noticed that too. The thin tires and lack of lip make these wheels look pretty big. +1 for a drop.
