Hmm isn't dark maroon the one on the upper right by any chance? If that's the case then that might not be a bad idea, would go well against the color of the tails... And just like John said, I'm usually not a fan of red calipers at least not on our cars but the top right looks pretty good...
Thank you, appreciate it. No the S badge on the trunk is the OEM S badge, it comes like that sir.

But if you do it, you certainly earn bragging rights over the crowd. Remember Robert_K?

Not too many members (in the Sedan forum, at least) go all in with high-end, lightweight, two-piece forged rims. The expense is easily 4X over cast aluminum, and at the end of the day it's still just a heavy, mid-range sport(ish) sedan.

Just food for thought Mike~

Brad these SSR's are FFT - Flow Forming Technology and as far as I know this means they are NOT Forged? I mean I don't think there is anything that's forged in let's say 2.5k budget maybe used Advan which I do like and I do like them even more if they are lightweight ! and then a question comes up in my mind, if it ever came to some forged, lightweight wheels... Would I still opt out for 19s or 20s ( only if they are lightweight and forged )

I see absolutely nothing wrong with compromising weight for style, particularly if it's something you really, really like. Of course, I say that with rationalized hindsight about my Vossens.
My point being, those SSR rims are beautiful, man.

For example I like these : https://www.myg37.com/forums/private...rz-wheels.html
Advan Racing RZ but given they are:
19x9 +25
19x10 +25
They might be too aggressive for my sedan with the given offsets too, then comes too much negative camber to make them fit? and then comes the problem of eating up tires unevenly but man these wheels look sick ! and AFAIK they are light weight too !
And Yes John they are beautiful yet not as appealing when on the car... wondering what is the weight on those

...and IMO damned expensive for a one-piece cast rim, used even.
That design is very similar tp Enkei's RSM9, which can be had less expensive new. And at really light weights. (20 lbs for a 19x9 rim.)

Exactly...
Fine... I'll spill the beans then...
I'm leaning towards a set of Avant Gardes either the M510s
or the M550s five spoke wheels which IMO will look great and show off that BBK that eventually will be painted/powdercoated ( possibly the dark maroon color)
What do you guys think??
Brad those 5 spokes look good indeed !
