Thanks Damon at Tirerack

Let me say it was a pleasure dealing with Damon, top notch service. Now for the wheels. These were going to be a temporary set until I figured out what to get, but I kinda like them. I am still lookng for a set of HRE or champions but for now these are great.

19x11 rear with et 63 tires 315/25/19
19x8.5 fronts et 57? tires 235/35/19
polished look with no studs or rivets, easiest rim to clean even the inside

My 1 complaint

Center caps, but I am working on that, however they are white and match the car, they even have a nice lip on the front and rear.

My other wheels:
1. Sport designs - nice but a bear to clean
2. MHT in chrome- got sick of chrome
3. Stock turbo twists- I wish they came in 19's cause I would have kept them, excpt they were factory chrome and I am not a chrome fan on these cars anymore.

Near point pleasant, I still worry about pot holes, I am looking at some hre 542r's and some champion rg5's right now can't make up my mind. These wheels were very resonable at tire rack so they will do for now and will possibly just be a spare set.
