Looks great. Finally a set of aftermarket wheels that aren’t black

Thanks buddy. My last wheels were a gunmetal Grey and that's as dark as I go. Black wheels just have no real noticeable design to them at night or in pictures in my opinion so I tend to stay away myself. Obviously some great looking wheels/cars here, just personal preference.

Sharp ride, white with yellow calipers and those spiderweb spoke silver wheels looks fantastic. Really like the duckbill and the carbon. Well done.

Thanks! The yellow is divisive amongst many people; some say it looks good, some say it looks terrible. I absolutely love it as it's different

Im shopping around for new wheels/tires and im kinda thinking just getting slightly larger tires.
Ive been doing research on it and i picked sizes that will keep the ratio the same, though its really small difference on 2021 is 350 awd
On the front, 235/40R19 to a 245/40/R19
On the rear, 265/35R19 to a 275/35/R19
The ratio goes from 0.38% to 0.37% so its veeeery small
I want a little larger look, not stock, but i dont want any chance of rubbing for daily use. I also like the stock wheels, so im not rushing to spend money on new wheels. Just tires at this point

I got 245 Front and 275 rear and got no problems even with aftermarket wheels (Front: 19x8.5 +35, Rear: 19x9.5 +25)
if you are worried about AWD system - as long as diameter of the wheels is the same as stock, you are good 👍🏻 width doesn’t affect AWD system

Awesome! Thanks for your post, i really appreciate it.
So if you increase the width, my understanding is the sidewall is a % of the width so it does technically increase?
Unless it only matters about the wheel and not the tire. I just assumed it does technically increase, but its just negligable with only 10mm added on each wheel?

Cool to see you were able to -10 on the front and -35 on the rear (assuming again, stock is +45 front and +60 rear) and have no issues!
Definitely eases my concerns looking at wheels. The stock wheels i have are actually scuffed up from the previous owner, so I was thinking about getting them treated or just getting new wheels at some point.
