Default Status/Ruff Racing wheels

any thoughts about these?
im thinking about them they seem reasonably priced

what kind of offset would i need for a 19 inch rim to have it barely to the opening without having to roll or chop? i will if i HAVE to but only if i HAVE to

The car is at stock ride height

I have Ruff Racing and they are decent. Im not sure what style your going for to get them in 19's though. Mine only came in 18's.

Anyway.....for 18's the offset is +35 all around

Mine are really heavy compared to stock. However this is my first set of aftermarket wheels so I dont know if other aftermarket wheels are usually this heavy. I have 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear. There are better wheels out there, but for the money I'm satisfied with mine. I don't think any of the styles they have work very well for VIP. Yeah the rear lip is big, but the spokes curve back out so it doesn't seem very deep dish.

Status/Ruff don't make any wheels for the VIP styling you're going after. Your best bet would be to try to get some used wheels on memoryfab or another site selling JDM wheels.
