19" x 8" 45mm offset wheels. P245/45 YR19 Pirelli PZero Rosso tires. I am convinced these are the 'Right' size.

Looks good, kinda surprised you didn't go with at least 255s.

Also 35% charcoal tint .. a little darker than I hoped but I still like it.

Here is shortened antenna and 'Pony' / 'Eject' cigarette lighters.

had 255's ordered and then switched. 255/40's are 1/2" shorter in overall diameter. The gap between tire and fender would have been too great, IMO.

Well, the gap would then only be 1/4" difference and the car would be lowered by 1/4"

VERY nice rims. Didn't think 19" would look so good, but they do.

Either size was a recommended replacement size. I went with the slightly taller over the slightly wider .. personal prefereence I guess. I didn't have the benefit of
seeing before buying so I made the best choice for my ride. I was also afraid the 255/40's sidewall would look too thin.

Hmmm... not to be a party pooper but I'm not a fan of the 19" size. However, I DO love your wheel design!

Also, I like the "Eject" and "Pony" lighter touches.

And, it is CERTAINLY a beautiful car. Congratulations!

Love the wheels, but your gonna need bigger brake discs to fill 'em out

Seriously, though, it does look sharp with the 19's

I am wrestling with the idea of lemans stripes in Charcoal Gray metallic. I am just afraid of 'Overdoing' it.

I agree, I thought 19's would be too big. But, I really like the way they turned out. Very nice!

Wow . .that looks nice. What color stripes are they? Where can I get them?

(I am still not sure if it would look overdone in conjunction with my current mods.)

Mine is the one on the left without the stripes... I saw this guy at a gas station a few weeks ago, I think he said they are the same color as the Bullitt Rims... Not sure the color code... And not sure of the shop, though I know it's in Detroit, where the Pic was taken.
I have to say I really didn't like them until I saw them in person...
With that said I don't think I am going to do the stripes, but if I do... they would be only a shade or 2 darker than the color of my 05.
