RO_JA R2-5 wheels on my silver 8

New 19 inch RO_JA R2-5 235/35/19 & 275/30/19. I was wondering if I should get my car lowered. Feel free to comment. Thanks.

Awesome looking wheels. May I ask why your car looks so tall?

I like how it looks like the Mazdaspeed rims. 19 Inches suites the car in my opinion. The next thing I would look into is a body kit. Your car would be complete then. BTW, Nice color choice .

I think it looks good. Clears the wheel well quite nicely. It could use some lowering, but don't slam it.

Don't you know that girls on this forum are supposed to post their picture in the Your Self Picture thread. You need to read the rules.

Anyway the rims look nice, but I find that they don't suit the silver that well, too black. Just my opinion.

I think the 8 looks clean enough without a kit, it's really all about stance and your ride needs to come down a bit to get that part right nice wheels though, I'm still dreaming of these for mine
