Im really liking these, but they dont make them in 19"
Wheels are hands down the most subjective mod (aesthetically speaking). Challenge is asking the board for an opinion will yield endless feedback and the truth is no one is right or wrong. It is like asking "what's your favorite flavor of ice cream".

My advice is if you like it go for it, at the end of the day that is all that truly matters

If your dilemma was more performance oriented, ie "what wheels are best for the track", then the feedback can be more useful

Good luck, but my recommendation is buy what "sings" to you!

Yup, thanks! I had HRE P40's but needed something new and easier to keep clean. I'm sure over time I'll get something else. I admit it, I'm a wheel junkie...but do like the look for now.

That's so funny, we have the same car and I was also thinking about the black stone guards. I added 5mm spacers just to push them out a bit. Nicely done!

Thanks Bob, ( great minds think alike and all that ! )

Had mine for 4.5 years now and 45,000 miles of mega enjoyment.

Question for you : did the spacers make any discernible difference to your
handling, particularly less understeer ?

Hard to go wrong with the classic Fuchs look, whether black or polished. Very nice!

Not that I can tell, no difference just looks.

Did you check HRE's Vintage Series? 501 or 935 would be a nice touch.

Will look great on your car. They have pix of this combo there.
I tried to buy these, but apparently, they wont clear the turbo brakes according to Work Wheels USA.

Please keep the ideas coming...
