    Ya, it's the ones in my signature. I was surprised these fit as well as they did off the bat. I am the go-to "wheel guy" to a lot of the local car guys for a reason, I guess. I honestly don't know if these would clear M calipers, but they gave me a LOT more clearance brake wise then I'd expected. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't fit an M.

    Unfortunately these wheels are a little hard to come by, at least complete. Centercaps are going to be a frankenstein of -get this- reshaped Lincoln towncar waffle caps and (intended for) BBS RS small thread caps. With each one taking a good 4 or 5 hours to modify, I've got one done.

          Pink is awesome, I have pink lugs and a pink tow hook. Anyone who says pink is gay is an idiot...

          You should lower it though, rubbing when you turn is all part of the fun.

            1) No fender pulling. I did it to my golf, I don't care for the look on these.
            2) I drag enough car with me as is. Lower isn't in the cards till I can actually afford to start breaking shit. The crew that I roll with are virgin territory for my ridiculous lows. They don't so much care for me shooting chunks of road and sparks when we freeway cruise, so please, think of them

            and, I don't think you guys are hearing me right because, I litterally don't have more than 3/4 of an inch before I'm physically dragging the car full-stop. I'm to the point where I can't turn on inclines and you guys want me to go lower? I know this is StanceWorks, but that makes stance-not work anywhere outside of my driveway.

                  Meh. Way to much poke, to little wheel, and to much gap. +Pink fails.

                          too much poke? Am I on the right website right now? Too little wheel? it came with 15x7s. I think +1 diameter, +2.5 width is good enough, but I'm coming from the world of VWs where sensible wheel sizes tend to be the general rule. Too much gap.. seriously? I don't have a pinky up front, and I actually carry people once in a while, so I'm running a little rake out back. The coil threads are at bottom perch in the back anyway.

                          I'm all about stance but christ, It seems like some of you guys aren't satisfied until the car is perpetually dragging parts. Seandub, I'm running 16s. chassis to ground I'm as low as you.



                          take some measurements, get back to me.

                            lol dude you get way too butthurt.

                            what Formula E said is exactly my thoughts as well.

                            Maybe MAYBE if the car was lower, it could get rid of the wheel gap/excessive poke and look decent, but you're saying it's almost on frame. Sooooo if you had 17s, it would eliminate all these issues!

                              I come from the world of what looks good, you obviously don't. If your happy with 16's and major tire(not wheel) gap...then I could care less... Im just stating my opinion, not sw's opinion.

                                That's cool, you're as low as me and have disgusting wheel gap. It's clear who the thinker is...
