Can't wait, so far these wheels have exceeded all my expectations! They are way better in person than any of the pictures I have seen, truly a gorgeous wheel. The wait has been worth it! I cant wait to get them mounted!

Big thanks to Charles at B2autodesigns, He was extremely helpful and very patient with all of my endless questions.

Here's another with centercaps and lugs.



I'm not really sure if im sold on this combo yet, but once i get them on the car we'll see. Its an easy fix anyway. Let me know what you guys think. Wheel specs are 19x8.5 38 offset

Are these bad larry's installed yet?

As a matter of fact they are!

I have been waiting to wash the car and take some proper pictures, but ive just been too busy.

Here's a quick peek:



and another:




Installed the BBK a few days after. Was pretty straight forward, just followed a few of the DIY's on here. I did end up having to use a spacer in front to clear the akebonos, i was under the impression that they would fit
Right now they are 15mm, thats all i have at the moment, i think ill go for a 10mm, anything less than that and I think ill be too close to the caliper for my own comfort. Once i actually measure the gap ill figure it out.

Looking nice, those rims are similar to the OEM split spoke 18s but a bit more of an edge to them, I like!

Looks good.. What is the overall offset f/r and width of the rims? They look close to flush but slightly inset.

It's a square setup, 19x8.5 et 38. I'm using a 15mm spacer in front to clear the bbk, but I think I'll drop that down when I get a chance later. If I had the chance I would go with a slightly lower offset of 33 which would I think be a perfect fitment. Hope this helps!

Looks good! Curious how they would look w/out the spacer? Looking into similar specs potentially and trying to get perspective.
