[PICS] New Wheels + Some small mods
I finally got my new wheels. Modular Concept 01 19x8.5, 19.9.5 Gunmetal/Chrome. Also got 15% tint all around, Midcity Engineering VIM and backup camera, and my Valentine 1 Radar detector hardwired. Pictures don't really do it justice since I'm a terrible photographer, but you get the picture.
Going to HMS next weekend to drop the car with H&R spings.

Looks pretty good, but the primary issue I have with aftermarket rims and these in particular is the inner lip/ring makes the wheels look much smaller than they actually are.
It'll probably look better after the drop but right now I personally prefer the stock rims.

I know what you mean, but it just looks like that in the pictures because the lip doesn't really show up. If you saw it in real life it's totally different.

Those look great!!! What tire size are you running? Do you know of the offsets that were used? Any rubbing?
I just got a 2009 steel gray with sahara beige and am thinking about wheels for next spring.

I must admit that those wheels really suit your car, nice choice, i know it is a complete crap shoot trying to match the right wheel choice and offset etc for a car, but i think you succeeded, you might try looking into the mercedes or AMG center caps. I beleive they make them, could look more unique.

How much was the Mid City Engineering back-up camera install, etc...? Who did the install for you? I called La Jolla Audio... and they wanted my 1st born... I figured i'd wait til she was a teenager...

Hey Tim, I was calling you to see if you liked your wheels. They look great! Thanks for posting! You should not have any issues after lowering.

I paid $800 for the install. Hey, I never said those guys were cheap. If you want cheap go to Al&Ed's. La Jolla Audio is the best installer in San Diego. They only work on Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos, benzes, Etc...
