Full Matte Blue Vinyl Wrap - Wheel suggestions

Decided to spruce up my OG 2015 M235 (took delivery in Sept 2014). Was Estoril Blue, replaced with a 3M indigo blue 2080 matte vinyl wrap and Xpel ceramic coating.

Also have a front lip and rear diffuser wrapped that I am going to put on next week. Opted not to do side skirts, maybe I should…hmm.

Thoughts on new wheels/tires? I'm partial to VMR, thinking something in the gunmetal family since I've de-chromed most of the car.

I prefer not to do any suspension mods, not really interested in lowering, no plans to track. Probably keep 18s as a result, unless 19s can look good without suspension mods? Currently have Michelin Pilot Sports

I do have a BM3 stage 1 tune, may upgrade parts needed for stage 2 this summer.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

That looks pretty darn good!
Perhaps 18x8.5" ET45 APEX ARC-8 in Anthracite?

Thank you!

Ended up getting the VMR 710FFs in Matte Graphite. Needed something quickly so got a square setup that was in stock: 19x8.5 ET35. Wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Will update the thread with pics in a couple of weeks which i'm sure will be followed by pressure to lower the car haha.
