20's. I was questioning the 19/20 dilemma as well but as you can see they are far from overkill and fit perfectly.

But I can say I have the damptronics and love it.
He's actually my good friend and known him for over 12 years. Does all my work for cost and a little labor so his recommendations are purely his best effort to make the best performing ride possible. Given that I'm leaning towards the full suspension.

Those rims look so good... How's the ride feel on the 20's? I have some pretty crappy roads around here... also (I haven't priced tires) but how bad is the cost jump from 19" to 20"?

I may just have to go 20 and see what happens... shoot!

100% honest I can't feel the difference at all. Been getting a lot more thumbs up on the road though Dropped it off today for the skirt paint and suspension. Will take final pics this weekend.

I just noticed the picture in your post, it didn't show up the first time I looked at it. Niiiiice, and very helpful, thanks. It's nice to see the upgrade on your car b/c mine looks very similar so I can "preview" changes before I make them.

No spacers needed. Suppose you go a bit more aggressive with the offset, but then I'm pretty sure you would rub.

You need a set of coilovers to get rid of that wheel gap!

I recommend checking out KW coilovers as they've been praised for their quality and ride comfort. We're authorized KW dealers and we can get these great choices for you!

Forgive my ignorance here but the "lip" of the wheel itself, is that in Chrome or "high Polished Finish"?? Looking to get same setup and have Center painted to match body (Arctic Silver) but want the "lip wheel finish of Chrome.

Cheers

Awesome! Didn't realize you had a different rear spoiler. I'll send you a PM so I don't hijack this thread.

Not to hijack, but how much negative camber you got there in the rear?
