New Pics!! 19s!!!
Hey, got my rims last week and had a big show today so I took some pics. They are 19" Rev Model II in gunmetal with a polished lip running Falken Azeni tires.
I took Top 20 Mild, my first trophy (only my 3rd show...) I honestly didnt think I had any chance of winning since I was up against some crazy *** **** (my friend who has a Volvo with literally $20k in stereo equipment and installtion...He took top 20 mild also, etc.)
Well here they are...Let me know what yall think!
Thanks!
Eli

Rep Power: 320 Haha- yeah she's lowered all the way on Tein SS, which still isnt low enough... I think I might trade to B&G's, I wanna tuck some more 
Mr. Modify- I got them at a very good price, if anyone needs rims, Talk to Riley on the site (rijoysock), he is a VERY good person!!!! THANKS AGAIN RILEY!
Hopefully my interior can be finished up shortly too, i only have the front RSX leather seats in and im talking to a couple shops about re-wrapping the whole interior in 2-tone leather (possibly with suede in the middle?). Thankfully, the cloth backseat couldnt even really be seen with tinted windows and recling the fronts enough

Rep Power: 320 Yeah I regretted my 17s, and just went all the way this time. I honestly dont think my 19s look that big tho, maybe its the lip or something, I think they look perfect size wise, but they kinda look like 18s :\
Came out great.... I cant believe thats lowered all the way with Teins.... the lip of my 17s looks about the same distance fomr the fender as your 19s. No clue whats up. I still can go down about an inch and a half too.... I think your body kit makes it look higher cuz the back and the skirts dont hang very low.
I'm still not too much into the dark rims with lips.... thats my opinion though. I think you should of gone with rims that are more visable.
I'm getting my 19s soon and I'm probably gonna go with theProphets... I know a couple people have em on here but I love the design of that rim.
How wide are yours BTW?

Rep Power: 320 We've discussed our difference of opinions of the dark rims...So I wont proceed to go there , plus, Ive had the prophets, got them before everyone had them and now I see them all over the place at shows...
Dude- Teins only go a max of like 2.25 or so there is no way your back tire is tucking that on 17s (unless your running a crazy thick tire like a 215/45/17). And no way if you have another 1.5" you can still lower...
They are 19x7.5, running 215/35/19 tires.
Thanks BTW.

I got a 2 finger wheel gap all around.... check out my pics of my coils in the font nad back and see how much threads I got left.
I met a member whose user name here LogicWavelenth in Atlantic city and his got TeinSS lowered all the way with 18s (215/35s) and he is tuckin about 3/4 of an inch of rubber int he back and no gap in the front. I didnt htink Teins go that low till i seen his car.
You're right, a ton of people have the prophets but to all the local shows i been to people have them in 17s and 18s.... never 19s. I personally think they look awesome.
Dont get me wrong, I think your car looks badass how the rims take up the whole wheel well but I'm not into the whole lip thing..... just me though.
Did you roll your fenders?

Rep Power: 320 Yeah I know what your saying, around here tho, I was the only one with Prophets in the 17s tho...everyone else had 19s and some 18s so LOL.
Well Tein SS only goes to a certain drop, it wont be different for different people... So not sure what the difference is unless its just an optical illusion from the pics.
My fenders arent exactly rolled but they arent stock. I actually scrubbed hardcore on the 17s, ended up having to change to 205/40/17 the day I dropped it cause it wasnt driveable lowered on 215/45/17 so I took it to a shop and had them trim the lip and roll it slightly just in case.
I dont scrub at ALL with the 19s amazingly enough, and Ive even driven it through some hard turns already. The front is all the way on the stiffest damper setting cause thats what Riley said I should do, but I dont even think its necessary. The rear I left alone cause I didnt feel like messing around with taking out my sub to adjust the damper but I havent scrubbed. I have always kept mine pretty stiff tho so who knows

Rep Power: 0 looks cool... 19"s seem huge to me tho.. and i LIKE the lip thing, i wanted to get my rims with a polished lip, but yah, i was too lazy to look up a place to do it so i just got 'em powder coated black.
Hmm, I'm probably gonna roll my fenders just to be safe then cuz the prophets are 8 inches wide.
I'm not 100% sure if i'm gonna get them but i dont know what rims to get besides them. I know they will look really good so there is no risk..... with others rims there might be a risk and i cant afford to get something i'll regret again. plus the 19'' prophets are fairly cheap right now... my local shops sells them for 250 a wheel and i can get rubber pretty cheap. tires.com sells 215/35/19 falken azenis for like 130 bucks/free ship a pop..... cheap as hell so withe the funds i have the prophets seem to be the best pick

Yeah, I do want to go lower tho it will just be a pain finding a buyer for the Tein SS, buying the B&G's before the Teins are sold so that I can afford the B&G's, and then of course installing and uninstalling both of them....
As for whats next- my interior needs to be finished. Then maybe some little stuff, I gotta start saving for college and stuff since i move out the beginning of August. i might be picking up a CRX shortly also so who knows, that would end up being my daily half the time probably.
