Default AME Wheels CX

My friend took these pics of my car today for fun. I am running my friends AME CX wheels until my Auto Couture Mags come in.







And a short clip

The car looks faboulouso. How much is it lowered? How did it change the ride and handeling? Do you drag everywhere? What are the wheel and tire sizes?

Thanks, Surt

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!! The wheels are 19x9 (+15) fronts and 19x10 (+15) Rear. I am running Tein CS. The fronts are lowered all the way, but I have changed the front springs to a higher spring rate. The rears can be lowered more. I only scrape the rear lower brace bar thing on high speed bumps.
DPR I will let you know when I get tired of Mags.

The size of the new wheels will be the same as the AME CX. I think the offsets are the same also.

You probably should reveal the tire sizes you are running now.
Show sc430 members here how to run stretched tires on those offsets.

The tires are Dunlops Sport Maxx. Fronts are 235/35/19 and the Rears are 265/30/19. Tires made a huge huge huge difference from the Runflats.
