Question What can you tell me about 19" factory wheels?

I like the look of factory 19" wheels on the coupe. I know they are staggered, but will they fit on a sedan? What are the pros/cons of the staggered setup? Does anyone have a pic of the factory 19s on a sedan?

I stopped in at a local dealership and they had coupes with both silver and chrome 19" wheels. Are the chrome wheels truly a factory option or is that an aftermarket process? Is there any difference between 2005 and 2006?

M1075...

1) YES - the Coupes' staggered 19-inch setup will work on a Sedan. I'd recommend changing the tire size though (at least for the front)

2) The only con about a staggered setup is that you can no longer rotate your tires...so, the old notion of trying to keep them wearing evenly/longer is no longer

3) A benefit of this particular setup is that the Coupes' factory 19's are forged...vs Cast. Basically, they're much lighter...less unsprung weight = better corner/handling performance

4) The wheels ONLY come in silver from the factory. If the dealership you visited had chrome ones...they had that done aftermarket. (ps - if reason #3 above is of any importance to you, then don't get chrome...it adds weight)

Hope this helped a little...^-^
