I wonder how on earth can you guys buy wheels without having the car first? Do the wheels give you an incentive to shop for a car cause that's what I think it is. I think most people here do it the other way around, get the sc first and then start dreaming...like me, still on stockers but hopefully will eventually get to that part. Nevertheless, you're still ahead over many of us because you picked really nice wheels, cheers!

Nice quality wheels, but I don't think I'd call those offsets weak.

unless you have some 19" wide wheels
It doesn't? Wouldn't a 19" rim be more likely to rub then a 18" wheel if you're running the same profile tire assuming both wheels are the same width?

Congrats on the purchase, those are beautiful well made wheels and 2G is not a bad price for forged multi-piece wheels, the offsets are perfect IMO.

Now time to find your SC, don't worry I bought coilovers and GS400 chromies before I even bought my SC.

Nice wheels. The front will be sunken about an inch though. I had 19x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5 +23 GT-V and wished I had gone wider.

LOL. I just sold mine. The offset is weak for the front. I had the same specs. Put some $ into spacers, you'll be glad you did!

Nice color.

Finally someone put good money into wheels without being scared...that's good to see.
