Default s-type r with sabre wheels

I Found a set of brand new chrome sabre wheels and installed them on my car. I think this might be the best alternative looks wise to the barcelona wheels for factory 19's. I went with a tad bigger tire size because I personally feel like a 35 series tire is too risky around here with all the pot holes.

Tire size is 255/40/19 all the way around, Feels like it actually hooks better now than the 275's. In the summer I might buy a pair of 275 35 19 nitto nt05's if traction is a problem.

Nice, they look pretty good and appropriate on there,

is the car lowered yet?

Please post some more pics and a good side shot too, thanks!

Yea that picture doesn't do it justice. The car isn't lowered but the bigger tire size fills up the gap, which makes it look lowered. I'm glad i choose these over the 20' senta's, which would look to big in my opinion, after i seen how big the 19's look.

Forgot to post up pics. The sabre wheels imo are the best looking 19' oem wheels for the str besides the Barcelona wheels. I'll eventually take a side pic but the wheels are slightly concave also.
