Yea when i was shopping for wheels i knew i wanted a staggered stance but i wasnt sure if i wanted to do the whole "Dish" Look... So i figured Concave was def the way to go... this Company XO makes a great luxury wheel... and they are reasonably priced in comparison to like Vossen and other companies... These are matte finish since my car is also Matte finish... but they come in Machined as well!

Hey I noticed you have replaced your rear trunk badge. I have a similar badge like you, only mine is "Brabus". What was the installation process for the rear badge. Thanks for your help, car looks fantastic.

i havent lowered mine.but with the 20s on everyone thinks i have. they fill up the arch nicely. iv got spacers front and back. cant really see in the picture but in person the stance looks so much more aggressive.
the wheels widths are front 8.5 inch with 5mm spacers
rear 10 inch with 15mm spacers.
iv managed to do it by having stretched tyres. the front tyres are 245/30/20 so the rim is level with the end of the wheel arch (no rubbing) and the and the rears are 255/30/20 the tyre sits just inside the wheel arch so no rub and the edge of the rim flares out.

one of the nicest setups I've seen on here, it's aggressive yet doesn't change the personality of the car and you're on 20s which is way easier to find in rims and tires than 19s, just 2 final questions tho, do you have any potholes in your city(how do you deal with them)? and how is the driving? I'm front Montreal, Canada land of the potholes

ah now thats a question! london is bad for pot holes too. iv hit a few naughty ones. the black CL65 wheels i had got changed to the Vossen ones due to cracks in the rims due to bad roads. the drive is with 20s but if you hit a pot hole you sure do know about it.
the Vossens have now been taken off because they started to crack also but this time on the front of the spokes. the CL65 rims are fixed now so running them again.
i just end up driving down the road dodging them all the time so sometimes people following me probably think im drunk!
20s look the best in my opinion (and i dont use the car everyday, thats why i will never change them) but as practicality goes 19s with thicker tyres would be better

I think I'll have to go for 19s with thicker wheels, I'm not super careful with potholes and we really have a LOT, because we have very long and winters here, any idea of a good aggressive setup for 19s? and do you know where I can get a carbon fiber diffuser?
