New Wheels on my VR - Falken 19"s with Falken 452 tires and Rotora brakes
 
Well I finally did it!

Got rid of my stock crap -

I got a set of Falken Circuit Spec 19" x 8 +45 from wolfy_hockey88 with gunmetal spokes (although it's hard to tell in the pics because of the sun) Falken is local for SoCal, orange county - so if you are thinking about them, thats a major bonus

I got Falken 542 tires to put on them (245-35-19) - for 140 each - better deal than anything from tirerack same thing about them being local - the guy came an delivered to my door in his van for free :)

I got a new set of TMPS from Rx8urZ to put on there

and I got a set of drilled and slotted rotors from Rotora... I think it all came together really nice. (also local, up in chino)

I wanted to put some Rays red lugnuts on there -but the ones I bought wouldn't fit into the rim.. so i went with black.. and i need to return the red ones. they were a rip off anyways. :banghead: something to think about if you are getting rims, because I had NO idea untill i showed up to the place and it was waaaay to late.

I got them mounted at Discount Tire in Orange.. they did really good work, but I think they overcharged a bit.

Let me know what you guys think!

That is pure sex man. Is it lowered? It doesn't look it.... but if it isn't I would so make lowering your next mod.

It depends how aggressive of a stance you want but the RB and MS ones have a very conservative drop but the Tein S-Techs have a very aggressive drop. I doubt you will rub because a lot of people have 19s with no rubbing issues while being lowered.

Actually for stock height that looks pretty decent compared to other steups I've seen (I think it's your tire sizes), definitely would finish it out nice with just a tad less gap though :)
