AUR11, that's pretty awesome that you not only got the best priced wheels but ones that have the perfect offset for a dropped G.
Now you've saved even more money since you won't be needing to purchase spacers. Good to know the verts have different offsets, learn something new here all the time.
Funny how things work out for the best by accident sometimes

I think the coupe is +45 on the rear. Both wheels are normally $533 each but these were marked down to $205 and then had a 20% code so I got them for like $164 each brand new. Not too bad for a wheel made by RAYS. The fronts are $197 each for the coupe and the vert and come out to like $157 after the code.
Pretty damn good deal.. Do you have the correct part #'s? I assume it is the same for each? Come w/TPMS?

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I'll post pics with the drop in a couple of weeks. The part number is d0300 jj125 for these wheels. It was 653 plus shipping for all four. I wanted a slightly different look from the typical coupe wheel setup and I think this is just unique enough for me while retaining that oem look I like. My kickball team was loving my car today and said they can't believe how awesome it looks now compared to the last time they saw it. Also they don't include tpms but I just swapped over the ones from my 18" wheels and discount tire didn't charge any extra to do that, they also matched tire rack for the potenza s04's for me as well which I highly recommend for tires.

Haha it's just an excuse for us to drink on a Sunday afternoon. One of my exes is on the team and she always loved my g but couldn't believe it was the Same car. Funny how wheels a lip and a spoiler makes such a huge impact. Speaking of drinking on a Sunday just finished up a Sunday funday that started at noon haha.

Lip is a real nice accent to the overall look. I am very interested to see how these offsets work with the Swift drop. Car looks clean, Nice job so far and score on the wheels at that price

Just teasing you, Aur11. Kickball sounds like a whole lot of fun.

Haha I figured. It's actually quite fun, especially since you can play with a beer in your hand!
Thanks for the compliments guys, I am really particular about keeping my car clean and dent/scratch free. I'll post some pics towards the end of next week when I am able to get the springs installed. If the front still look a little too aggressive for my liking my contingency is to purchase the 19x8.5 wheels for the front which are +43. And after looking around on eBay it seems I may be able to come out ahead if I did need to go that route.

Haha, I actually live in the city (KC,MO) but my building is sort of rare with having its own private garage and assigned parking spots, it's like 129 a month that my landlord pays for my spot. My parents are out in the burbs so I head there to do anything car related.
