    Thanks. May be a common wheel, but it's a first on a 9-5. lol Cheap is the reason I have them. Picked them up for $300, and I'll have maybe another $200-$300 in them by the time I'm done with them. Two piece BBSs for $600 or so isn't too bad.

    +1 for chopped springs in the interim, I'm running 1.5 coils less than standard on my 9-5. still not low enough really.

    They are Insignia wheels, but I think they're 18". I love them.

    Hoping it will be. I'll probably need to get some camber arms to dial it all in.

    And it's all good! Current deadline for the wheels in Water by the Bridge, so there's plenty of time.

    I did a calculation. With 15mm adapters (Puts me at a 5et) the Style 5s should stick out two more inches then my current wheels. This should be fun.

    May I suggest an aero lip, skirts and rear valance?

    Keep up the good work!
    Thanks! It's actually got an Aero front lip on it, it's just painted black. I didn't want to have paint matched for it, so I just did it in satin black to match the body trim. It's a lot more noticable in person. I have the Aero skirts for it, just don't have them on yet.
