New wheels and springs on finally
After 13 weeks of waiting, finally got my wheels in. 19" IForged Variant. Hyper black face with chrome lips. Toyo T1R. H&R Sport springs. Springs have since settled a lot more since the pictures were first taken. Will see about posting updated pics of the drop when it settles a bit more. Unfortunately, due to our crazy offsets, can't get much more of a lip than this. Good thing is that there's plenty of room for BBK....so now I know what to blow my next bonus on

8.5f and 9r. I was originally gonna go 10 in the rear but was told that would require fender modification or camber adjustment and I didn't want to roll the fender yet.

Sonic is in Mountain View. You're in Vaca...as in Vacaville? It'll be more of a drive for you if so cause it's south bay. But if you're thinking of major work, I can't recommend them enough for Norcal.

That's more the angle that the pictures were taken. And yeah, that's the perfect black imo. Matches the blacks on the grille and diffuser perfectly.

the springs have settled significantly now and looks good. I'll see about posting pics of the drop when I can.

I had considered 20s, but as this is a daily driver, didn't want to sacrifice too much ride comfort.

Hmm...for some reason, they look smaller than 19's.

I was going to say the same thing.
they look more like 18" from far away but if you check the close ups they look 19"


but a great set nevertheless!
nice and low
