Anyone with pictures of 19" wheels on your 6

Interested in some wheels that only come in 19". Just wanting to see what 19" aftermarket wheels look like on a 6.

I'm thinking 19's will look too small for the size of the 6?!

I have broken two 20 inchers so far. When I see a bump I get nervous. That said, I'm glad I held out and got an M Sport with 20" wheels and I think they're with it. I would be worried about getting replacement wheels if the manufacturer drops the line.

I'm having a similar dilemma...I mounted 18" dedicated winter wheel/tires...and I'm dreading going back to the 20" wheels/tires. Driving over the same roads is definitely different with the 18"s vs the 20"s...the 18" set-up handles potholes and imperfect roads much better.

I know the 20"s look better...but unless you're driving on well taken care of roads...you have to look out for and be ready to react to pot holes, crooked/sunken man-hole covers, and other road imperfections way more carefully than you do with 18" & probably 19" wheels/tires, too.

Personally, I find some of the 19" wheels as a pretty good alternative...they don't look too small...especially since their "aspect ratio" provides a bit more tire height...which makes the tire look a little more substantial...and not look like you're running on rubber bands.

If I had to go with a 19" wheel...I'd probably select wheel style 331, 351, 366, or 367. If I could have found a nice set of #367 wheels...I would have used them for my winter tires...but since I couldn't I just dug out a staggered set of 18" Style 37 MPars that I had been storing in my shed since 2012.
