    I like the color matched face (or color matched just not metalic) or leave them the way they are...

    With all this said and your preferences listed, I would do 255/35/18 and 215/40/18 and push the fronts out a bit.

    I don't want to run that thin of a tire on this car and nor do I want the rim sticking out of my fenders, I think a 10mm up front sounds great, but a 15 to 20mm in the rear is just wayyyy to much. I had some 15mms with the stocks, I put them on i the rear with this rim I have now, it stuck out like 25mm, I don't want that.

    I just want flush...a more clean look.

  • Ok, you guys got me thinking the right way....

    So, I ordered black rim bolts for my wheels last night.

    I think I'm going to paint them BMW SilverGreyMetallic or try to see if the powder coaters near my job can mix me a color close to it.

    What other colors could you suggest? I want to keep it mild looking but still have that w0w effect.

    And yes, I will finally run some smaller tires like many of you suggested, only way to get this flush with these wheels. Plus these Michelin PS2's seem to have a HUGE MF sidewall for no reason.

    I have a 255/35-18 Falken ZE512 new in my shed, I will run a 225/40-18 in the front. I know these tires run small, it'll give me that mild strecth I want with a still kinda wide tire with spacers of course.

    The wheels are 18x9 and 18x10 and currently on Michelin PS2 235/40-18(porsche OEM sized =/ seem to have a taller sidewall than the ones I had before ) and 265/35-18 in the rear.

    Here's how the car sits now....gimme wheel color options. The rim bolts will be black and lips high polished.

    Thanks guys!
