they came with the car from dealership. auto guard that's what they told me. I might take all off since the rubber piece on passenger's rear door already fell off.

I was doing 65 mph on a highway when the front wheel hit a small pothole last summer. So I rotated the dent one to the rear and put the good one in the front. I already bought a spare rim.

btw, thanks everyone for the compliment! I appreciate it!

welcome to NICO.

thanks for the compliment.

the ride with 19" and lowering springs is rougher but stiffer than OEM tires and springs. But I'm happy with the result. The gas is an issue for me. the car averages 18 mpg in city and 20-21 mpg (mixed of highway and city) with these 19" wheels.
