New Wheels and Rubber - Square Set-up

**Edited to include better pics at the end**.

Got my new anniversary rims installed today.

Put on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetirc A/S's. 245/40/19's

Rims are 19" with a 43 offset and 8.5 wide. They are four coupe convertible fronts.

Drove about 40 miles on them today. Quieter than the stock GY RSA's. Ride is not jolting. Love the way the black paint and the dark titanium finish jive. Have to do one pic per frame - iPad querk.

Looks great, offset and width of tires fit very well, good to know.

Hard to tell the color of these wheels, are they a titanium grey finish? Seem darker than silver but lighter than gunmetal, hard to tell in photos, not that it matters much because they look great either way

I know the car enthusiast community loves recommending lowering springs, I agree they looks good (when moderate) but the additional cost and impracticality has to be considered.

Long story short, car looks great as is

Thank you. I use the camera in the iPhone so it doesn't take the greatest pictures. There are a dark titanium "chrome-ish". I think u described it best.

For me I like I like it this way. Nobody keeps a car forever. I would prefer not to narrow the market so much when I want to sell it.

Thanks all. I gotta say too after much deliberation I'm really happy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric AS tires. Crisp handling. Doesn't upset the car on bumps, absorbs road imperfection and quiet. Car stays nice and level on turns and grips like hell.

Car looks real good, I'm liking those wheels more and more.

Although I have to agree with some others here that I would lower and have gone with the convertible rear's instead, but hey that is personal preference.
