London's New Shoes..

Just thought I'd post some pics of my new setup. I was deciding between a bunch of wheel/tire combos but didn't want to spend an arm and a leg since i plan on doing a phase 2 (engine mods) and phase 3 (some lighting and exterior upgrades). I choose the Varrstoen 4.4's. Absolutely could not be beaten for the price i got the combo for. My first impressions...

-Very nice fit and finish. Much better than I anticipated.
- The look of the car with 9.5f/10.5r is stunning. Helped fill out the wheel wells nicely and there is a lot more rubber on the road.
-I can for see these being very hard to clean...other than the obvious reason being the design itself...around the edges there is a almost a edging that is without a doubt going to be difficult to maintain.
-The ride height is perfect...no rubbing issues.
-The tires also feel great...no complaints after one full day of driving. Zero road noise and smooth as silk.
Here's the complete setup and pics..
Brand:Varrstoen 4.4's
Specs:19''....9.5f/10.5r
Tires: Hankook v12's. 245/35/19f...285/30/19r

Looks good and I like the specs but I think you should have went with at least 255 or 265 up front.

It's all about diameter. Putting anything over 245 was going to throw the diameter off too much for my liking. I looked into 255's....wasn't for me.
