Default New Wheels....opinions?

Last night - after some bitchin inner fender work - we finally got my new wheels on.

They're Lexion 203 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. They are made by Rays Japan (Think Volk). Rubber is Nitto 555 235/35/10 and 265/30/19 in the rear.

Suspension is H&R Race springs with Koni Yellow Adjustables...I think it might be too low.

Unfortunately I cant run mega low offsets Trust me I wanted more lip but had to settle for these. At first I thought the 19's might have been too big, but they've grown on me...I'm really happy with them now

Yeah, the back looks too low. I don't like how the wheel is tucked in there.

white wheels on white car looks like anus, lol...I was debating getting black with polished lip.

once I put them on I ended up really liking them, so they'll stay for a while
