speedy. I got 4 Lexani gloss black machined faced 7 spoke 19"...8.5 front and 19"...9.5 rear for around 2,000 3 years ago... really like them...They have a huge selection...Carl

 

That post was may 2014, I been looking awhile.
Haha.
Wanted 10 - 11 for rear which didn't leave much options in a 5x112.
Or to heavy or $$$

Thought about there hyper black, more like a light graphite.

 

Tire rack is fast.
Less than 22 hours after they shipped my new tires arrived

Coded tires.
The Yokohama ' s made the 5th week 2017, in the Salem Virginia plant.
Why I went with yoko on front, made in USA.

The continentals 4th week 2014, 2 years and 2 months old, fine with me at that discount. Made in there Slovakia plant.
I haven't found a good made in usa 285 all season tire for rear. Was going to get the bfg but without the closeout price, I couldn't pass these up.

 

On those continentals, are they branded continental or the barum bravarus (European continental) branded?

Continental DWS 285/35r19

Looks like they where drilled a 114.3 then chamfered out to a 112.
But they are cone not conical
Can I find lug bolts in town with the mb size and thread in a con instead of a conical?
Or send them back

The wheel shop I am having them installed tomorrow, the lady told me she has done 5 crossfire before and they stud all of them, the 1st 4 they done with lug bolts and hub rings all had a vibration, they put in studs and no more vibration.

 

I like your new wheels and price. Will be watching to see how this lug hole situation play's out. Squirrel Crusher

 

TY squirrel.
Going to put them on tomorrow with lug bolts, and probably order studs.
I weighed them earlier.
They are wider and lighter than stock wheels.
They are looking good against the ssb, when I order the studs and lug nuts I need to find some silver instead of chrome, the chrome lugs stick out.

 

Esr Sr 08
18x8.5 - 23.6 lbs
19x10.5 - 28.8 lbs

 

Rear, had to cut 3 threads off the bolts I got for the back so they wouldn't catch on the parking brake.
Front, took 1/8" off the depth of the dust cap for the hub for them to mount, can't use the center cap on the front
Next weekend might take off the dust caps off of the hub and clean and paint.

Does anyone know if the have seen dust caps that are more squared off instead of rounded?
Or any dust caps for front hubs that look any different?

If there was a dust cap that can be presses on the inside of the hub instead of the outside, then I can use the center caps.

 

Wheels and tires are looking good. How much clearance do you have between the 285/35/19 tires sidewall and the cars inside fender well? So your in Illinois. Rudy (Accelerated Industries) is also in Illinois with my car. He's bare block building a SL55 carrillo weistec engine with a modded V-12 cylinder transmission to drop in my SRT-6. I'll be picking it up late spring and would like to stop by to look your wheels over. Squirrel Crusher

 

Damn it, I would sooo love to see it.
Only problem is I live in southern il and he is in Chicago about 5.5 hours away.
If you want me to text or email some detailed pics I can?
These only have a 2mm difference in back spacing on front and rear, the wheels just are 3/4 wider sitting outward and inward, the tread of the tire is only 2mm difference than where it was positioned on previous wheels.

 

Or I can just post here.

 

Took out for a test drive, thought I heard a rub on front, couldn't figure out why, got home and on inspection I found the belly pan hanging down in the back.

 

137,303 miles, baby got some new shoes

 

Got to Louisville, when I left I had a slight vibration, but after 40 miles it started to smooth out, nice and smooth now.
And I don't have the hub rings on yet, they forgot to mail them with the new wheels, be putting them on next weekend if they get here in time.
Might go ahead and order studs and nutts also as per reccomentations of the wheels shop for Crossfires.
