OK guys, the first serious mod happened today!!!!!! i'm so happy, I got a set of Lenso GT-05's in 19X8.5 with low profile tyres (80% tread left) for a bargin $700. I chucked them on straight away and I reckon they look awesome, what does everyone think?

The tyres are 225/35ZR19. So the profile is 35, I think it is pretty much the lowest you can go for these wheels. When I need new tyres I think I am gonna go up a little in profile, maybe to 45 just for ride comfortability. hopefully then they will fill the arches a little more and I wont need to lower it.

they look strangely cool ... like it looks cool but something funny about it. maybe it just looks like it needs lowering now.

I do need to get a wheel allignment and balance done because I have found that it is pulling a little but once I get that done the only difference is that you can feel more bumps and road imperfections! but the steering seems to be alot more responsive and I think that is due to the lower profile of the tyres.

I have been doing some photoshopping and the idea of lowering it is actually starting to grow on me! maybe just 2 inches or so with a 45 profile on the tyres.

looks a little weird to be honest. huge car wth such a low profile tyre.

if its dumped, it'll be alright, otherwise thicker tyre profile might be nicer. :)
