Mounted up my newly acquired edition 1 wheels - 19/20” double staggered with OEM 255 F & 285 R tire sizes. I’ve seen a few other members with the coupe setup on sedans which encouraged me to pick up a set. I ultimately decided to go with the OEM+ look over aftermarket.
They will be getting refinished hyper silver with machined lips in a few weeks but figured I’d rock the look for now! Actually liking the black but yellow is a bit much for my (mostly) black car with red calipers.
Fitment is great, nice and aggressive. No rubbing anywhere. A slight drop would certainly finish the look. Will probably jump up to 265s/295s PS4s next round of tires - might need a slight spacer to fit the 295s in the back as it’s very tight currently by the rear shock and inner fender guards.
Only disappointing note is traction didn’t improve much at all coming from 265 stockers. Would have thought with 20mm wider rear tires, traction would be better.
Here’s some pictures:

Update: some new pictures with the new setup refinished. Went with a medium hyper silver powdercoat. Very happy how they turned out!

Nice wheels! I like that you decided to stick with OEM+ look.
Def need a little drop, maybe lowering springs soon? Can’t wait to see the new look with powder coated wheels.
Thanks... agreed! Will most likely grab a set of KW HAS as I’ve ran their coilovers on my previous car with great experiences and to have the height adjustability while retaining the stock damper settings is a big plus.
As you mentioned, aside from the yellow accent the look if quite nice. That's the type of wheel (including the SLS lightweight wheel style) that I want for the future W213 E63s but I'll probably have to go with a near identical aftermarket wheel for best fitment.
