Come-on.....who makes em?.......and are they directional (or only look good on the left side ).
On 19s.......just say no. If you're looking to fill out wheel arch, that's always more about offset and ride height.
I own 19s (18s & 17s) but IMHO 18s are most practical.......but it's your money (and your eye) that are always most important.

Hello Noby,

the bar is made by DAS-Sport System Rollbar and is a bolt-in. if the wheels look like your picture above, they set the car off nicely.

in other words the are Nasty! which is a good thing, i like them

cheers
