Default New Wheels On My VY Coupe

I just put these babys on, Asanti AF 142's 19x9.5 front and 20x10.5 back. These wheels have Toyo Proxies, the fronts are 265x19x30 and rears are 295x20x30. I wanted to get 35 sidewalls on the fronts but Toyo does not do 35's. They are almost the exact same size as stock though. Asanti also makes adapters for my sensors, they mount sideways and the valve stem comes out and goes thru one of the rivet holes, not sure if you can see that in the photos. The sensors are new, thanks for the great price on those Gene. I lowered my stock bolts as far as they will go, the fronts are good, can't go lower anyway, I scrape going in and out of my driveway pretty good, the back though I want to go lower. I may have to get the WCC lowering bolts for the back or go coil overs. Anyway what do you guys think? Oh, the wheels were just under $1000 each, the tires were $1000 for the set, and the adapters for the sensors were $40 each which adds up to a !@#$load of money , but I like, I like alot. 1 more thing, the fronts were 41 lbs and the rears were 46 lbs.

Forget the wheels. I know you're about to leave two really long strips of molten rubber down that beautifull, empty, country road...right?
