my 07 6mt coupe came with these wheels standard.


for my 07 coupe I was under the impression these wheels are standard, no options, for the 6mt only, and that the non 6mt coupe had one standard wheel, and one optional wheel (that was not the 6mt wheel). Is this correct? If not, I need to stop using the wheels to identify the 6mt's...

I ask only because the other day I saw a car with my wheels, thinking it was another 6mt but it turned out to be an automatic. A woman was driving it, and that makes me think she didnt swap wheels with a 6mt. Yes, a gross generalization but mostly true (that women arent likely to be interested in 'mods').

 

I stopped using the wheels to identify 6mt after '05...I believe they made the wheels that only came under the sport-tuned suspension models/6mt package available for automatics after '05. So they are no longer unique to just 6mt...

There is a sport-tuned suspension option for autos after '05 which probably came with the the 19"s, so I'm guessing the woman you are speaking of bought that option?

 

thanks. Didnt know they were an option. so there really is no way (except looking inside for a shifter, or how its driven) to identify a 6mt quickly?

 

Nope...they should have kept the brembos for the 05+ 6MT

 

yeah its an option for 5AT. most of the 5AT G's at my dealer had the 19's.

you can tell by the shifter the noisy trany and if you have good eyes the orange on the steering wheel... umm the sport front bumper and sides

 

where can I see the difference between the sport front bumper and the non-sport. I remember that difference but can't see what the diff is without a side by side comparison...
