New Purner 19\'s

Last week took the snake down for a round of mods and wanted to post some pics of the new rims and thank John for setting me up with such a killer deal and for doing such a beautiful job on these rims. You may remember that I was posting and asking for advice about ride quality as I live in rural N. California and though we don't have many potholes, the roads are rough and uneven from heavy winter rains. Well, as promised, the ride quality is better than the stock 18's due to a bit less weight and much truer construction. And the more aggressive, open yet strong style of the split 5 spoke really compliments the very nature of the beast! For those wondering, I have HRE 547's on another vehicle and assure you the Purners are every bit as finely finished.

Nice setup. What did you use lower the car and how much?

Re: New Purner 19\'s

Thanks guys, its much cheaper than buying a new car but it seems like a very different car each time I look.
Austin, I will get some more pics for you soon
JDawg, the 19's maintain the stock tire profile so are actually a larger diameter. Net result when lowering with Eibachs is 1/2" drop. This has worked out perfect for me, and so far has caused no more caution or problems than stock in terms or driveways etc., John
