Marcus, make sure you update on how the tires work for you with not only handling but, ride quality/quiteness etc. I will most likely go with those tires next. I'm thinking about 245/35 all around so I can do a dismount front-rear rotation every 5-6kmi.

Also, how does the weight compare to the cpe 19s?

Thanks and I scanned the thread, so I hope you have not commented on weight yet.

Car looks great btw!

That sounds about right for the wheel weights. They are great wheels, too bad discontinued, I knew these would look good on the sedan.

^Good call, Viet. And props to Marcus for taking your advice.

I actually like these wheels better on a sedan than on a coupe.

On a coupe these widths and offsets are not the greatest. The 18s allow for much better track tire fitment except for the widths. The 10.5" were never really offered in the US. 18x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear is a great track set up for the coupes with higher offset for big tires.

I love the look of the OEM rays, but I've gotta admit your wheels look better now.

Great job Marcus!!!
Thanks Tim. Yes I have a molded M3 style rear lip spoiler.

You're right. It's the offsets for these wheels that do nothing for a coupe. Ironically enough, the same wheel with same offset not only looks right at home on a sedan, but it looks downright sick.

Gotcha. My bad. Thought you just wanted to know the weight of the wheels.
