19x8.5 - 24.5 lbs
19x9.5 - 26.5 lbs
Pretty heavy if you ask me...
Wheel specs are as follows:
Front : 19x8.5 Et35 - Running 15mm spacer. Final Et20
Rear : 19x9.5 Et40 - No Spacer... with 285 tire out back it's really tight.
Anyone looking to fit these wheels and run an H&R spacer up front will have trouble with the center caps. They don't fit unless you get creative:

New wheels are nice, I think the others looked better though. You should EBay a set of smoked corner lights. Especially because they won't light up with row setting. And man you must cringe going over decent bumps in the road (not talking about potholes) . I had my car low like that for a few days and seemed like the suspension bottomed out a few times. Reminded me of the old hoopty days of slamming cause it was cool. No way I'd wanna go back to the jarring ride.

Yup... sidemarkers will be painted in the next few weeks. And the suspension is real smooth... second car I have with air suspension.
Just got to constantly scan the roads

Sidemarkers painted!!???
Please do not paint them!
I'm interested in interchanging sidemarkers and molding into European version without markers.
Is this a possible route for you?

Had the secondary cats deleted yesterday.
Sounds absolutely ridiculous at WOT. OEM+ sounding when cruising... love it.
Current Exhaust setup is as follows:
Secondary Cat Delete
Resonator Delete
C63 Mufflers
A little cold start video to give you an idea.....

Little update. . .
In the past week, did the following:
- One notch lower in the rear
- Color matched sidemarkers
- Fixed driver's side fender (Had a slight dent, paint chip)
- Fresh coat of Plasti-Dip on Front Lip
- AZN Optics LED license plate bulbs
- 1 Step polish / Coat of Chemical Guy's XXX Carnauba Wax
Check out the tight bead!
