19" and what did go for offset? front and rear same size?
I picked up Motegi as a sponsor a few years back so I never needed to pay for the wheels or tires. I know that there have been various members that have paid between $1500-$2000 depending on rubber.

I've been in the wheel business for a long time, and I've had just as many (if not more) warranty issues with the "high end" wheel brands, as I have with the moderately priced brands (Motegi). I sell the hell out of Motegi wheels, mainly because they're cosmetically pleasing and moderately priced, and in the last 5 1/2 years, I've had two wheels that needed warrantied out of hundreds sold.....and that claim was an arguable one.

BTW, my 19" DPK's are for sale, but only because I traded my car in.

WRONG. They installed those wheels because Motegi/RO_JA was the official wheel sponsor of the Movie. The Eclipse in the movie has Lowenharts on it because Tyrese had to have "Twankies" on his ride.

I don't like Motegi - they cater to the ricer crowd.

I have motegi dpk rims on my car
they were 1800.00 in 19inch with nitto tires

I like them but that is because the price was right
I didnt want to spend 4k
if you want more expensive get racing harts, volks, advans
but if you are cheap like me get motegi
its just a brand name

if you have the cash then do it
