I love the stock wheels.

If you upsized to 285s in the rear, did you also go 265 in front?

stocks over anything at the moment for me, all the wheels i wanted to do got hella played out. Plus i never had any problems with the stocks, they are one of the best looking stock wheels for a car yet. the look is simple and subtle. Give it a nice drop, throw some beefy 285's to give it that perfect "should've came like that from the factory" fitment in the rears, slap on some 13/15mm spacers and call it a day.

Fronts are still stocks. Haven't burned through them yet so yeah. Honestly i might stay 255 though, i noticed when i first lowered my car that the outer edge contacted the splash guard lightly, i feel like i would fuck shit up with 265 sooo i'll just stick to stock tire size up front lol.

Stance looks perfect ? I have h&r springs going in sometime soon will also need spacers. Those volk te37’s are quite popular so I understand what you are saying about them being played out but they do still look amazing on our cars.
I edited my post with a pic of the A91 so you have an idea basically how your car would look lol

Edit: i'm gonna be real with you OP, if you do the springs and spacers combo on your car, you probably might not get wheels at all. ? the look is simple and clean, throw some 285s or 295s in the rear and you're set. Your car will still fall under the Refraction x Satin Black theme.

I was just about to place an order on some Work Meister S1 3p's, but the wait time is 8 months. They're about $3,400USD. You don't have to spend 6-7 grand for a nice set. I'm going to get BC Forged instead. The wait time is only around 6 weeks. I have the two tone stock wheels, but it's tooo much black for me. Black wheels are in style at the moment, but I'm not a fan.
Received my BC forged set in 3 weeks!

Go 13/15! Trust me! :beer:
Because a 1-2mm difference is so noticeable? j/k (just trollin'). ?

As far as the OP question... I'm in the same camp really... I plan on changing the wheels, but only if I also change the size dramatically (like 18's with 11" width on rears or similar). Spending thousands to wind up with 19s in nearly stock widths and offsets is crazy IMO. Most aftermarket wheels at least have improvements in offset, but some (Wedsport - I'm looking at you) are basically identical.

Cost saving measure I considered was getting a set of volk te37 sl and using my tires and sensors from oem wheels. Otherwise best thing to wait it out til stock tires are done. Although this would take a long time as I have 2300 miles after 7 months of ownership.
that’s what I did. Swapped everything to the Te37’s but then it got played out lol

exactly where I am at, I can find used 5x114s and use wobble bolts - this is where I am at right now - that way if in future I get something that uses 5x114 I'm all set

I justed placed an order for 19" Titan7 TS5s. $3k for the set and center caps. II prefer the TS5 split 5 spoke spaing better than OEM, you drop about 5lb per wheel, and they're forged and come well recommended by track enthusiasts.

I've still to decide whether I want to replace the OEM wheels now or wait till after the PNW "winter" passes to get the TS5s on with new tires for next spring.

That being said, the OEM wheels are high quality wheels -- not many OEM wheels come forged.

I am in the exact same dilemma as you. The stock wheels are nice, especially after some metallic Gunmetal powder coat, 13/15mm spacers and springs the stance is alright too. the H&R did not drop nearly enough in the rear so I am thinking with my next tire swap go with a 295/35/19, or maybe a 40? can I run a 40? it would look a lot meatier, but I def have the itch, problem is, I am a college student, who does okay, but spending 5-7k would not be an easy pill to swallow. My dream wheels are polished LM's in 19's with a nice set of 305 R triple 8's and 265 up front, and next would be a set of silver TE 37's, but they have definitely been a little played out, especially in F'ing blue for some reason LMAO, have not seen many silver. Love the look of Corsa Motorsports M4 track build. I think if a crazy deal comes up on something forged, lighter than stock and in 19, I'll take it, but that means waiting, almost every part on the car has been acquired through finding "killer deals" Ie- 1k AWE exhaust, $200 bm3, $120 brand new cusco sway bars, $150 dollar new cusco strut bar, $200 new H&R springs, Free wheel powdercoat, diffuser, etc etc. There is a set of 19" te 37sl a couple hours away for 2500 bucks, but still a hard sell.

@Jamassi Let us know if you need anything! We still have SM-10s in stock and they are a great combo with an A91:

What's the complete setup on the 18s? Are they the same width as stock? And what tire size? I just ordered 18 for my car and am wondering if I got the right setup, and I think the one here with 18s is the right setup.

Here are the specs for the 18s (Anthracite finish)

Front: 18x10" ET30 with 275/40-18

Rear: 18x11" ET40 with 295/35-18

Tires: Yokohama A052


There are a number of tire combinations that can work with these wheels. The wheels and tires pictured are wider than stock.
