Question thinking of getting 19's for the whip

New to the forum and in need of some advice...

I am going to get a set of R1 GTR 4's for the mattie...Im planning on going with 19x7.5 and was just wondering if they will have a good fit...I have a fairly big audio system in the hatch so speed is not my concern. I just think 19's will look a lot better with the evo 5 kit...Please send me some advice if anyone is thinking of rolling that route.Oh yeah, I was looking into the eurolite halo fog lights and they appeared super nice...I think they will fit the evo 5 kit perfectly so if anyone knows anything about that give me a holler. Thanks

Nice ride. Where'd you get the hood? I've been looking for months for a carbon fiber with that type of scoop.

If you're running 19x8.5, what offset did you use? Tire size?

Then you should return it because I think it looks like donkey poop.

Kidding, looks real nice.

To the original poster, decide for yourself and don't be so indecisive??

Where did you find those mirrors? Love the look. I saw something similar on ebay but they looked like cheap knockoffs. And I think they were only available in black or silver.
