Gunmetal Rotiform RSEs. 19x8.5 in the front, 19x10 in the rear with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus tires.

 

Nice, looks classy yet sporty. Welcome to the family lol.

 

What was wrong with the stock wheels?

 

I feel like they make the car look more dated and aren’t sporty enough for my liking. I was actually going to look for some OEM 18s or 19s, but the tires the car came with were pretty shot and needed changing right away so here we are.

 

Understood. The subject suggested there was some actual mechanical issue.

 

Yeah, I can see that now. My bad.

 

I kid you not, this is what came to mind.

 

That's a big step in the right direction. I like the look, the design, the finish, the size and offset. Very nice.

If it's not on the radar yet, I give you till the end of August before the gap drives you nuts. When that happens, don't fight it, just figure it out.

Nah. I knew before jumping in exactly what this was... the OP bought new wheels and wanted to show them off.

 

Haha, It was on the radar before the wheels were even mounted. I was actually really worried it would sit like a truck and was already planning on doing coilovers right after. Luckily the car doesn’t sit half bad so I’m really leaning more towards a full 3 stage paint correction and ceramic coating first to get rid of the swirling.

It’ll give me some time to do some research and maybe ride in some lowered cars as well. My last car (srt4 neon on lowering springs) beat the **** out of me and I don’t want to do that again. I want to keep the ride as nice as possible.

Thanks for the compliments, your car is incredible.

 

Agreed. It could have been worse, and in that pic it's really not that bad. Could be the reason is that you went with 19s, because if those were 20s it might be a different story. And the offset doesn't look so aggressive that the poke accentuates the gap as bad as it could have. If it were me, I'd live with it and make solid plans how to pursue a lowered suspension and a little bit of negative camber, and in the meanwhile address some lesser issues, like the paint. All which seems to be exactly what you're doing, so... Huzzah!
