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. Last edited by CaliBlu2; 08-02-2015 at 11:33 AM.. |

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.

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