09 Sport Sedan on Gunmetal Coupe 19s

I just put these wheels I've had for a while. Originally purchased from another forum member here they had a few scuffs on them and I had them powdercoated gunmetal. They were for sale a few weeks ago and at my next service I found out I needed tires so I decided to keep them and throw them on and I'm glad I did. I know you guys will say it could use a drop and I'm sure it would look good but my car scrapes on some places already and I travel too much for work to areas that aren't always familiar to me. I honestly kind of like the look. Appears like it could've come that way. I really want to have my headlight housings painted black to bring the look together. Let me know what you think.

Looks great! I'd say you should get a small drop at least lol it looks like a rollerskate in a way but looks good I love those wheels. Black out the headlights yourself its very easy to do

I was gonna say drop, but I understand your situation..sometimes its not practical. I would however even out your stance, raise the rear or lower the front a bit to get a nice agressive stance. Black housing, light smoke tails, and a lip will def make the car look great. BTW I agee with you on the 19's, I borrowed my friends while i wait for my new set of wheels to come in, it doesnt look half bad on a sedan (Im not sure why the sport sedans are 18's).

Looks good..I just bought the same set (minus the gunmetal) and hear the same about lowering but I have the same issue as you. I'm feeling the gunmetal though..

The drops on the sedans are more than the coupes, I don't get why, but it looks good so far. Black out those headlights and smoke the tails

Those look even better in gunmetal, id say black out your headlights like a few said and it should really set off an aggressive look for your G!

245/40 on the front and 275/35 on the back

No spacers needed. They actually sit slightly more flush than the 18s that came on the car.

I havent noticed much of a difference. The biggest thing was the new hankook tires are noticeably quieter than the stock bridgestones.
