The window trims look great in gloss black and work nicely with your car.

The fog light surrounds and trunk bar make a very strong accent and I agree with you they will stand out too much on your car. They are best left for a hard core storm trooper conversion I think.

I agree, my car is far from being a storm troopers with my red wheels lol

I still love to have a bit of chrome to match the AMG exhaust tips.

Sick! The gloss looks so good and matches so much better!

Those red wheels look amazing on a white car, wonder if they'd look good on a silver car?

^^ To be honest with u, on a silver car it would look good only if u are lowered & have CF or black accents. On a stock silver car, it won't look good. Just my opinion though.

Yes, I kind of agree with that, but I do love those red wheels.

^^ not to rub it in, but the brushed w/red tinted clear looks even better in person.

Wheel size check - Don’t **** your weapons all at once!

I’ve been reading and reading and reading, reading some more and it has all been very helpful and love seeing some of the choices made on pictures. Before I’m happy with my final choice I just wanted to get peoples thoughts on my chosen sizes.

Based in the UK.

I'm in the process of ordering some 19” Ispiri FFP2 in brushed carbon grey (love some HRE’s but budget doesn’t support!)

I’ve gone for the following;

Front: 19x8.5 ET 35
Rear: 19x9.5 ET 45

Tyres - F: 235/35/19 R: 255/30/19
Michelin PSS

I want to get a ‘level’ of reassurance that I can run this combination with no obvious sign of ill-fitting - rubbing etc.

I actually love my OEM 19’s but I want to use a ‘spare’ set for winter and for when my existing wheels are in for refurbishment.

Any help would be very greatly received.

The combination will fit without problems.
