The reasons i went with 19x8 instead of 19x9.5 is because i felt that the lip on the the 19x9.5 would have been to big all around i believe its 4 inches or so. and i feel that wouldnt have looked good at all on the front.

HUGE shout out to Fluid Sports the time it took for me to get these wheels was like 5 days, and that includes the day i ordered them at like 3 PM. So they have my business and i will recommend them to any potential buyer

Sorry Jedi im a college student who doesnt have the money to always go big. and also when i first bought the bumper i did attempt to go authentic through Lazi when he was at JDM, but they messed up my order and i waited about 2+ months and then was told i would have to wait another 2-3 months for my kit. So the main reason for going with Shine is that it is stationed here in the US, shipping was fast, and the fitment is not bad at all! But i understand what your sayin
