Looks good Adam. Our cars are starting to look like twins!
Are you gonna lower it?
What were your exact sizes for both the HP's and the tires?
Any issues with the TPMS's?

I might lower it eventually, not anytime soon tho.

The wheel is 18x8 - 5x100/114.3/120 and I put the old factory tires on them.

I didn't switch the TPM's over cause i'm keeping my winter tires on my factory wheels. Not gonna waste the money on extra valves that probably won't even fit right just so I don't have a blinking light. I guess you can open up the dash and cut/disconnect a wire to stop the system from even starting to check the TPM's but I probably won't ever do that unless i have to open it up for something else.

I love these wheels. So I started digging around for into and could not find the weight anywhere online. Went to local TSW dealer and he looked it up. The 18s weigh 29lbs each!

I don't even want to know what the 19s weigh.
