I am sad that i have to do this. I absolutely love these wheels, but i have to let them go. As of this week i came into a big financial burden and need the money bad.( Rent payment) These are 19 inch Giovanni Kobe wheels, wrapped in Pirillie Z-rated tires. I bought these wheels from sean at Automoive R&D. They were specially made for the Mp3 in the correct offset, there is no rubbing at all. I have the ground control coil-overs and i could slamm the Mp3 all they way down and not experience rubbing. So there is no worry about the rubbing issue. These are the same exact wheels as in the pics I am about to post. I am asking $1575 for them. Or better yet make me a offer. I had them for about 3-4 months. But the are in very good conditon. I rotated them every 1000 miles. They are already mounted and balanced. I am also throwing in a new set of lug nuts that special fits these wheels, the Lugs alone cost me close to $70 at NTB.(National Tire and Battery)

Did you convert your headlights, or am I just seeing things? Are those P-5 headlights?

Hey..
I always had a dream of going 19" for my MSP, but as much as i want them, these are not the wheels for me. They look great on a Mp3, but it's probably not the same feel as it would be on a MS.
Those wheels are beautiful nonetheless.
I hope you get those wheels sold, so you can pay off the landlord. Best of luck!

18's and 19's on a car that isn't purely show and is a daily driver, and u'll be racing/autorcross isn't practical. I know from experiences that 18's are a rough ride, u feel ever groove and bump in the road, little / no tire, so i wouldn't go dragging with them no tread and what lil tread you have will be worn off if you spin wheel to much, less torque, the smaller the tires the quicker the wheels will turn. (least from my experience what i have noticed) guy i know in a gti went from 18's to 15's and his 1/4 mile time improved by almost 1 1/2 seconds. maybe have been more than that. If the car is all show no go, 19's are beautiful. but not for me, i didn't like the way it road, but you do the car for yourself not for me, it does look great tho 
very similar to my 18" tenzo r poke 10 white rims.

Actually my 18s with 215/35s' are actually slightly smaller than my factory 16s'. I know this too because at 80mph and factoy rims my rpms were at 3600, but with the 18s it is at 3700. Not much of a difference, but never the less, they are slightly smaller. The thing that slows me down is the weight of the 18 compared to the factory. Also, with the right offset I could put 19s on my P5 no problem. Later

Nice wheels bro
there is just as much tread on a 19 as any other tire. depending on the compund is how they are going to wear not size, oh and one more thing the bigger the wheel the more distance you travel per rotation that is why you need to get your speedometer adjusted when going larger. the only way rims make you slower is if they add more weight.
