Default My nu shuez are on...

I decided to have the wheels mounted up with tires. I couldn't help myself, they were just sitting in the garage. I had them up for sale, but no one wanted in, so I decide, maybe I needed to give them another chance...I can't believe I waited this long!

*19x8.0 Axis Mods w/ Maxis Lip and Pirelli P-Zero Nero 215/35-19's*

The look super hawt, getting my Tein later this week, so the stance will give it an even nice look.

Enjoy! :D

Wow, it looks pretty damn good!!!!! Needs a drop now.

Do you have those headlight overlays???
IMO, the yellow makes them look old and sundamaged???

Yeah, I do...I catch alot grief for them...but in all reality, I like then alot! IMO, they give my 'tC' a european look/feel.

You wanna see sun damaged lens, let me know, I have a pair of sundamaged lens from a 89 toyota pick-up. Now those are sun damaged, you can hardly see the bulb, its so hazy.

You what the yellow lights are REALLY for right? ;p

It's going to look extremely tacky on a tC ;x

Very nice rims though... I'm not a deep dish fan but they definitely look nicer compared to other rims I've seen on the tC

Its to bad that you spent all that money and the ground contact patch is same as stock. With a 8" wheel you could have at least gotten a 225 tire. I guess if its just for looks, then it dosn't matter. And BTW they do look good, just don't agree /w the tires.

I know, I know...you should see them in person, it insane!?! I'll be remeding that problem next week. I should be receiving my Tein S-techs from Kozz Tuning Wednesday. Hope to have them on b4 the end of the weekend.

2", will fix the black void between the wheel and the fender quite nice! I'll post pics...

the more 19s i see..the more it seems they're the best at balancing the overly stretched rear quarters.

Wow Kosal, very nice man, it's gonna look even better after the drop..,

the tires will be fine, just gotta get use to the road feel that's all..

The stretch look is a look that we've been running here in SoCal for the most part, a bite from the Japanese style bBs. Most peeps like it, but like Kosal said, to each his/her own. Nice pics man, can't wait to see it when it's drop. hey hit me up, there's some new tC parts coming out soon that you might want.Peacpede Kosal.

damn those things are hot, man actually i was considering them again, but the tire price for 19 seems to be very high!!! and plus even though my car only gets taken out like 3 or 4 days out of the week it is still technically my daily driver and i would be brought to tears if i were to get a nick or a curb check on one of those sweet tennis shoes of yours since construction and potholes are everywhere in houston

Very nice actually, not to bad. But I do have to be extremely careful taking turns around sharp turns. And keep the tires well pressurized is key in keeping these tires from shredding on the concrete.

I'm happy!

Thankfully, I'm fortunate that I don't have to worry too much about $$$, see as I work for a major automotive parts distributor.

Dallas isn't too bad w/ potholes and the like, but I still have to be care of the unsuspecting 'road tities'. And railroad crossing just got worse!

Ok, I 'll buy them now

Any rubbing at all? From your other post: +35 offset for the front and the rear has +40.
Definitely let us know how it is after the drop. I'm curious on any rubbing.

Oooh...now you wanna buy'em!?!? LOL

Offsets would be correct....I'll definitely let those of you know about the rubbing(if any)after I lowering the tC later this week.

'Da Cove'...where is that?

Nice avatar btw...

Uhmmm... "European look/feel"?? The hell is that? That's just stupid, don't insult European cars like that. It's like calling Altezza craplights "Euro" lights.

BLEH

On the other hand, making them looking like designer sunglasses in another thing, although I'd prefer those slightly blue (just slightly) semi-reflective sunglasses
