Did you buy the silver or black ones? I'm trying to decide which color would look better on my car? I just bought some tires a couple months ago and want to use the same tires. 275/40 and 245/40's

I'd like to get the 19's in silver also but not sure how much a set of tires will be since I hear they're a lot pricier than 18's

Amazon.com had some 19" hankook Venus v12's as one of their lightning deals yesterday. By the time I saw them they were all gone. If I had seen them earlier I would have bought them and a set of the 19's here for sure

I really like these wheels a lot. Just seems like they stick outside the rear fender well lip too much for me. If they were flush I'd be all over them. My Steeda Spyders measuring 20x11 fit flush out back better than these do.

Here's the link to pics showing the wheels fitted on the car. It seems as if the car in some pics show that the rear axle is not centered? That would help but the tire still bulges outside the fender lip. Fine if you don't lower the car much. For cars with 1.5" drop or more it would seem as if you'd rub the outer fender lip under hard cornering in the rear.

That's my car. I haven't had any rubbing issues and I'm on sportlines. I had 20's on my 06 with sportlines, and no rubbing issues either. I will put a pan hard bar on my 12 and center the axle one day. It's only off by a 1/4-1/2.

The rear slightly bulges but I don't think it's much of a problem, I actually like it now. B4 I was worried about my wheels popping out. But it's just a tiny bit. I like the fact that it's closer to the outside fender so it fills it up. My gt500s were pushed inside more, display a small gap when looking at it from the back forward. But to everyone's taste I guess. I lost weight and that's what I was going for a cheap price :)
