Gravana J2 Mesh Wheels

What you think about the 19x8.5 (black polished lip) on a rally yellow SS/SC with CF wing insert, CF hood and trunk with a coilover setup? I just never know until I see it on a car...=(

Sizes:
18x8 2" lip
19x8.5 2.75 " lip

Weight: Stock: 24 pounds
22.3 pounds (reasonably light for a full mesh cast 18" wheel design)
24 pounds (reasonably light for a full mesh cast 19" wheel design)

Silver Finish Polished Lip


Black Finish Polished Lip

LOL. +rep for making LOL. For real though, I only have a CF wing atm and I want to get a hood at least to. May not get a trunk but through that idea out there. So what do you think with just a CF wing and hood. Black projector HIDs. I have a feeling they will look great but unsure. Someone here has these wheels in chrome/silver in 18s. On a black balt and they look good.

I think they would look good. I like the black on yellow thing as long as everyone in town isn't doing it.
I wonder if the tires are going to rub though. You have coilovers and with a good drop and 8.5" wide 19"ers there might be a problem.
I'd PM some of the guys here with 19"ers to see what offset, drop and tire size they are running, if you haven't researched that already.

just my 2 cents, your reality may differ

He should be fine. 8.5"ers should clear with plenty of room to work with.
Good call though! I got some rep here with your name on it!!
I was just waiting for someone to pick up on these. They have been available for a while now.

I would be jumping all over these if I didn't get the one's I have.

19's FTW Baby!!!

Thanks Remedy, always a pleasure with you around. I was going to get the same rims as you but could not get myself to "copy". I need to have my own look so to speak!

your not taking anyone's ideas. I showed them on here for a reason, right now I don't have the cash for wheels/tires anyways. If I'm going to do wheels/tires I'm going to do it right and get a coilover set up. One thing at a time, I still have mad parts laying around I need to install haha. Bump for those who did not see...
