So I picked up my Antera 309 rims yesterday. They are 19 by 8, 45mm offset. Absolute perfect fit for the LS. Put the driver side wheel dropped the jack back down so I could add air to the tires (which I was planning on doing). Realized that I need a specific Antera piece that screws in to the hidden valve stem just to add air. I ordered the piece ($40) and it should be in hopefully Saturday but most likely monday. Im at work so I will post pics of the rims tonight and then of the rims on the car later on. Just wanted to share my dissapointment.
 
Actually found them locally on craigslist. The deal was unbeatable and I couldnt live with myself if I passed it up. OVer about a month I talked a guy down from 950 to 500 cash. The rims are in great shape and the tires are toyo proxy with about 90% tread left. He posted crummy pictures on craigslist therefor got little to no responses. ( he didnt tell me this but im pretty sure thats what happened)
 
google is your friend. just looked them up and they do look mighty nice. good pick up for 500. hope to see some pics soon
 
Well a couple shots of the rims and a few of my car. Im keeping my fingers crossed that my "antera valve extension" will come today. But I have a feeling it will not get to me until Monday. The tires are toyo proxes 235 35 19, I am planning on running them at 35 psi does that sound right

well unfortunately the piece I was waiting on so I could put air in the tires didnt come today. I guess it will get here Monday or Tuesday. I will repost some pictures after I get the rims on. Since I picked these up so cheap I have been thinking about riding them for a while then trying to sell two on ebay and go with 20 x 9.5 in the rear and have that nice staggered look. But right now my concern is getting the damn things on.
 
They look really nice. I had to wait for my lugs to come so I could put my wheels on. I hate waiting for stuff in the mail. Such as my foam cannon. It's worth the wait though just keep thinkin that.
