Cold Weather Package
I sealed the day today on a set of VMR CSL's in 19x8.5 for the front and 19x10 in the rear. They will be shipping in around 4 days or so. They are wrapped in Kumho SPT 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. The fronts wheels are ET40 and the rears are ET38. My rear fender should be stuffed full with these wheels and is going to look sweet I think !
I got them finished in Hyper Black which I think will contrast my silver nicely along with the tint I have on there. Mud Flaps will be coming off when the new wheels go on
Future plans are for CF Grille, CF door Pillars, CF Wheel Caps and CF emblems, Shadowline trim, Chrome shark fin.
Joking on the last item
Here's my only good pic of my car since it had been too damn cold out for a photoshoot
And a sick E92 with the same wheels and offset as mine but in Hyper Silver

Congrats, buddy! They'll look sick. I can't wait to see it lowered and with shadowline trim as well!
I sure hope it doesn't rub in the back.

He's got an xi...will be about as flush as possible in the rear. He could use 10mm in front if desired.
As for rubbing it shouldn't be a problem. Im running at stock XI 4x4 height. Fat chix not allowed, there shouldn't be any rubbing, atleast of the wheels unless thats what you call them
