I think it looks a lot like the 7th gen wheels... nice.
What is the wheel size/width and what was your deal (if you don't mind sharing)?

Love the rims... I was tempted to purchase them as well, but my current 20's are only a few months old. Did you buy those from the dealer in LI whose clearancing them out? ... my boy is prob gonna get them for his 08 camry se.
Very Nice... I hope you have smooth roads where you're from. I would stick to 18" if I were you unless you are living in a town with the smoothest roads. I've said this before: Your suspension will suffer, so will your axle...don't forget these are FWD (Front Wheel Drive) cars and you can easily bend your axle if you were to hit a pot hole with low profile tires...not to mention that: your body is like a hard drive...it saves everything that you put in to it....so later in life you may end up with back problems too.
Also 19" replacement tires are expensive and a replacement RIm (damaged) is expensive too. I just ordered 4 new rims myself. Konig Again 5 (5 bolt pattern) 18 x 8.0 with Riken Raptors 245/45/18...and I dare not go lower...I was very tempted to go 255/35 or 40 /19 but my mechanic friend and the tire dealer told me that I was nuts. The Rikens are ZR rated too!
They are made in Canada by Michelin and cost around $500. Last year when I was looking for new tires and the Can $ was not at par with the US I could have spent easily$1500 Tax and Instalation on a set of 4 Falkens or Toyos as these were not available then...now with the money that I saved I can afford 4 new Rims too and I still save over last year! I pick up mine on Wednesday...can't wait...like a little kid under the Xmas tree! The Konig come in 2 colors and I chose the OPAL finish. You can google Konig Again 5 and Riken Raptor ZR and you'll have a good idea of what I'm talking about. Also the smaller the diameter the faster the car too. On the other hand a deal is a deal! Just be careful.

I have 19" inch toyos and the ride is perfect with a 255/40/19 tire. To each is own.

Those look really good
IMO i think you should lower it a little bit for that agressive look though
