They are readily available in Washington DC area. Not only are they better than the OEM Conti, but they are cheaper as well!

 

looks 100% bether!!!

 

What are the specs of the wheels? Offset? 235/35/19 with no rub? My wheels are 19x8 with a 45 Offset on 215/35/19 General Exclaim UHP tires. I had 225/35/19 tires but they rubbed like crazy, especially with people in the back or luggage.

 

That's because you were probably rubbing on the inside of your fender liners. Remove your rear fender liners and throw on a coat of that underbody protector spray and you wont rub anymore. And put your 225s back on.

 

I don't know what the offset is and it's 19x8.5 and I don't have any rubbing at all, and no fender rolling either.

 

Car does look nice. Clean, yet understated-sporty. I agree with those that say to blacken the chrome b-pillers. Just looks like too much chrome in that one area. AlsoI think that drilled/slotted rotors would look good, especiallly considering how much open area there is on those wheels. Never was a big fan of painting the calipers on most cars because the rear calipers always look so wimpy on most cars compared to the front ones. Might want to complete the look with more aggressive exhaust tips too.

 

The wheels look GREAT. You should ditch the chrome on the B-pillars and smoke your tail lights and then post more pix. I like the red calipers too.

That is one sweet ride.

 

Hmmmm, I guess it's all a matter of taste but if I had the regular model with all the chrome accents I would have gone with a polished wheel, if like mine it's a sport model then I would have gone with a painted wheel. I'm not a fan of 6 spoke wheels to start with so maybe that is influencing my judgement.

Also is it me or is the offset off, the wheels look to be sticking out an inch or mode.

 

Factory wheels are 7" wide. Very little space between the inside of the wheel and the suspension components so, to go to an 8.5" wheel, the offset has to bring most of the extra width to the outside.
