I thought so too!

Bought my car used with those Autoart wheels...don't like it at all. I prefer something stock and this Carerra Sport turns out quite nice!

And to my surprise, those Autoart wheels are heavier than stock...now with the new shoes on, the ride is even enhanced!

Well done! This just shows that most black wheels just make the car look sinister, whereas a classic silver wheel makes it look sporty again.

Yes, it's got the factory -20mm Sport Suspension. See the below pictures to show the difference between mine and standard PASM:

I am on 235/35 front and 305/30 rear. These are standard specifications for the Carerra Sport Wheels with 8.5J front and 11.5J rear.

Same tires were used with Autoart but now it rides better. Guess the weight makes a difference.
