Had this setup since last spring, and not really looking to change it. I can't find anything I like better, hahaha.

@STownSaint: sorry for the lag but thank you for the nice words, much appreciated. factory tire sizing for the coupe wheels. 225 45 19, 245 40 19, h&r springs and 25+ spacers up front and 20+ at the back. And a nice alinement. Ride is perfect, not to stiff and only rubbed just a tiny bit on huge drive ways. no biggy tho.

Figured I'd post this here as well. xS sedan, lowered with swift springs, 20mm spacer in front. Still deciding on the chrome, but think it works.

Well, they're coupe rims anyway. Definitely sitting a little high and i think I'm going to go with new center caps once I swap the calipers out.

Works for me.

Usually chrome rims get a bad rap, because GM and Chrysler take badly made and poorly designed rims, slap a layer of chrome on them, and expect people to be impressed. And by and large, the people who buy GM and Chrysler products are impressed, but that's their problem.

But when you take a great wheel, like the 19" Sport Enkies, and have them chromed, it looks upscale and unique.

It's a keeper, Jethro.

Thanks Rochester! Yeah, I think you are right about chrome wheels from most manufacturers. There also seems to be a "stigma" against chrome in general. I am liking the look so far, but we will see how I feel after this summer. This set was a craiglist find, still has the OEM Bridgestones mounted. Now I just need my coilovers and Akebono kit to come in...

What calipers are you going with? You have the BBK already don't you?

Thanks Brad, just saw the question.

I did upgrade to the BBK but in order to get them painted I picked up another set which I'll sell as a complete setup once I get the new ones on.

These are very nice wheels. I will get it someday if I'm lucky enough to find a set =)
