Put on 21" wheels but I don't know if they look better than OEM!
Hey All,
Yeah put on 21" wheels and lowered the car with H&R springs (which lowered the car more than I want at 1.2" front and rear). Somehow I feel OEM ones are more aggressive! What do you guys think? Maybe a different color? more grey than silver (smoke silver)? Please vote and share your thoughts |

It's probably the color. A darker gray, or anthracite would look more aggressive. Pasti dip it to try it out. - cheaper alternative. If it looks good, you can always powder coat it.

those might be the best stock wheels ever made. I would try spacers to push them out flush. You also might want to try a more conservative spring than the H & R - maybe the HAS system to preserve your ride quality. That thing is going to bounce all over with that much drop.

if you had any other stock wheels I'd say the after markets were better.. but the stock wheels you have quite possibly are the best stock wheels on any car.
I know they may weigh more than the forged wheels, but they look so darn nice. |

The gunmetal 21"s will look fantastic trust me. The OEMs are a great look, but they're OEM, everyone has them. Those 21"s are unique and will definitely go well with the new finish.
Love the color btw!
