do you have wide body? 12.5 would stick out on mine
Also can't really picture the dark blue with the gold on the rims, but that's just me))

Also i just switched to 19" all around, 20s are bit too rough to ride here where i live, with these bad roads....

Yes, my car is a wide body car.
My current setup is 20" al around the car. BS have 19" at the front and therefore I have now ordered these. Yes... I'm little afraid how its gone look. But I wanted to test something new ideas.
Here is my car with current setup.

Since you ordered them we'll see it any way how it looks I thought of a lighter blue, but it's very dark so it might match not bad!
did you lower it too?

Yes.. we will see. I have the wheels here after 5 weeks.
Yes I have lowered it to. But its to hard when its at lowest position.
I have an new idea to low it another route. I'm gone try to change the bolt connection at the shock absorber. Maybe 1" so I don't need to low so much by hydraulic so its gone be a little softer.
Maybe next week Im gone try to do this.
