Picked up a brand new set of 19" JDM Gewalt EVO II in a deep black-gunmetal. The fronts are 19x9 and the rears are 19x10. Both offsets are 38 and fit perfectly. Unfortunately the shop I bought them from said they didn't make a gunmetal 18" in this wheel, although I could have easily bought the 18s and painted them, but that would've been a little ghetto and less authentic, so I thought I'd try something different, and go a size bigger. That, and the fact that I haven't seen any Zs with them. I'm still undecided on which tire to go with. It's either between the Nitto 555s, or the Toyo T1S directionals. I still have time since it's not my daily driver, and there aren't any substancial SoCal meets anytime soon, but damn I miss driving it. It wasn't too long ago that that I just got it out of the shop after sitting in my garage for over a year with a busted engine. But I guess it was time I got rid of the chrome's I've had for so many years anyway, and I know a lot of you (SoCalers) have been secretly wishing I'd toss'em someday. As for the big brake clearance, I have 13.5 rotors on the front, and with the way these are designed, I can easily run 15" rotors. Too bad no one makes them. : I really wanted something black with some dish in it, but I also wanted something that wouldn't look dated a few years from now, seeing that these'll be the last set I buy for the car. : Another view of the front. : The rears tuck nicely under the fender, but I suspect that I'll eventually have to roll it. :
