Ended Up With Replica M6 Wheels

After having the Msport wheels painted satin black 2 weeks ago and liking it for only a week, I decided on the Gunmetal Gran Coupe M6 reps.

19x8.5 x4. 225/35 and 245/35 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2. Here's a few pics.

Thanks! No, actually it is still stock suspension, but with the new set up, I have less gap in the back. I used to have 2 fingers of travel, now I have 1.

Height does look pretty nice in the back for stock suspension.

These wheels actually look a lot like the stock wheel design at a very quick glance (apologies if you were trying to get away from that look!), but overall I think it looks pretty good.

Still unsure for myself whether I'm going to go with 19s or just wider 18s.

Imo, the only similarities between these and the Msport wheels are the double 5 spoke. If you saw the 2 side by side in person, you might have a different opinion. Regarding 18 or 19s, I think either size is fine. The 19s seem to stand out a little more. I will say this regardingt the ride. The ride is just as good as the 18s.

No rubbing issues at all! After the install, there was a Costco next door with some huge speed bumps that I went over faster than normal for a good test and there wasn't any issues at all. Also making U turns are no problem as well.

Agreed, I was just talking at a glance. If you look at them for any longer than a second or two, the differences are pretty apparent. These have a more aggressive look.

Good to hear that the 19s haven't sacrificed the ride.
