I'm not looking for lowww just a bit of a drop and better handling. They lower a little bit from stock SS/TC springs and I think they look pretty good as they sit stock
Thanks man

Hey y'all,
So finally got new rims and tires on the Balt. It's taken some time deciding and getting it taken care of, but they are finally on. Here's what I ended up with:
WHEELS: Stern ST-11 Chrome 18X8.5 +35
TIRES: Nitto NT555 245/40/18
SUSPENSION: All Stock
There has been some of the ST-11's shown on the site in the past, but I think these are the first chrome ones that have been shown. So for anyone who has wondered what these Stern's look like, here you go. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

I know most of you probably won't like them but I'm quite happy with these. I'm tired of most our choices in the 5x110 bolt pattern looking like they belong on an import so I got FWD Cragars. I like the muscle look. They even look good with out the center caps on. I will probably be painting the lips black or yellow in the near future.

Minimal. Mine are actually pretty light for 19's. They are right around 24lbs each. Some 19's are closer to 30lbs. I had 29lb 18's for a while and they killed my acceleration and warped my rotors because it took so much energy to stop them. I couldn't notice a difference when I went from my winter 17's to 19's performance wise. It really is all about the weight.

All the 19s on here look flossy, but pretty much every 20 I've seen looks awful. *face palm* What happened to having a fast car with normal sized rims on it... Might as well donk it up on some 24s while you're at it and buy an e-bay fart can.
BumpinBalt, yours looks amazing. The one color color scheme and simple yet amazing looking wheels give it such a unique look. None of that gaudy 5 tone paintjob, keepin' it real.
Props.

19s aren't overly large and look somewhat proportional still while being tucked, 20's just look like something I'd see on the north/east side in my area.
Yes, that one inch makes a huge difference to me.
There's a good ratio from wheel to rubber and wheel size to car size. Hard to hit it but the majority of 20s don't and many 19s still don't.
You take away from the stance of a car if you don't leave enough gap and have it sitting too low on too big of wheels.

I have been looking for other wheels to change things up a bit, but there aren't many out there that make me want to part with my current ones.

Thanks. Some people on this site like to hate on my wheels, but most seem to like them. I see a lot of peoples heads turn when I drive by and have gotten a lot of compliments on them. Some people seem to think they are chrome, but they are hyperblack with a machined face and lip. This is my 4th summer with them on and I STILL love the way my car looks all summer. It's depressing when I have to put my winter wheels on! I have been looking for other wheels to change things up a bit, but there aren't many out there that make me want to part with my current ones.
