Directly through VMR. They were great!

They do fit, the vinyl is just for the black overlay on the rounders that covers the blue. The rest is just the normal one.

Thanks for the quick reply man. Last question, no spacers are required with these wheels right? Oh also, do you require an alignment when you go from 18s to 19s? I am running Dinan springs and had an alignment already for my stock 18s.

I don't believe so. With springs you need an Allignment after install but with new wheels I don't think so. But I'm no expert.

OMG!! New pics look so SICK!!! The stance looks perfect and makes the V710 look amazing. Perfect color combo too!!

I'm surprised you aren't rubbing on the rears...

Thanks. And as of a few days ago, with a call full of adults, I do rub a bit.

It would be okay. I had it the other way around when I picked the car up. Only non perf interior thing was the shifter because they were not yet available.

It was strange because it was the only black leather in the interior but it never seemed out of place. So you should be okay but it may be odd.

So this makes me wonder, would putting 19 inch wheels on my car look weird due to the fact that it isn't as low as yours, or would the larger wheel fill some wheel gap and look fine?

Also, I can't decide which would look better on an EB...black or gunmetal. Any advice?

I love gunmetal on everything but black would look good too. With my same set up with your springs I think it would look okay. Should be almost the same amount of lowering. It's up to your preference but you can't really go wrong.

You usually alone in car? How bad is the rub? I have 701's on my 135I and as the suspension aged (had just over 20k turned in by 30k) my Pilot SS's rub like crazy.

Sonic RR · 03-17-2015, 12:51 PM

I was told other tires have a more rounded shoulder as compared to the Michelin's.

Interesting. Rub is minimal. Generally me and one or 2 others and I'm not getting any rubbing. Even with four smaller adults is fine. The day I had more rubbing was with 2 heavier set people in the car and two more average.

How do you like the MP shift knob over the stock shift knob? Is it a must have to you in terms of the feel of the throws?
