Thumbs up New wheels - opinions?
Hey guys so after a few weeks on the Road Magnet springs I decided I needed some new wheels. Just came home yesterday and I put em on today - Concept One RS-8 - 19x8.5" - ET38 all around and wrapped on 225/45/19 rubber. What do you guys think? I'm planning on running some (8mm?) spacers in the rear. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! More pics tomorrow!

Joe

It's not staggered 'cause he's AWD.

I like them. Not bad of a drop from just springs... Definitely run spacers in the back, would look better.

Spacers + Beefier tires in the back? But they look good, I like them.
