Sweet wheels, aren't they supposed to be light compared to other 19" wheels? Damn your S is so clean I can clearly see your 06+ Pilot too.
It's fairly clean now. I need to order the pads for my porter cable machine and then she'll really shine.

i personally don't care for wheels that big. the ones in my sig are 18". but the biggest problem with 19" wheels is the brakes. they tend to look really tiny. the 19" wheels on nate's NFR looked well placed. looks good nonetheless

damn those look good! what's the offset on those? that's a lot of rubber to squeeze under the stock body work. i hope it doesn't rub when you lower the car.

Rear 245/40/17 OEM RE050 ---- 45lbs
HREs:
