My vote goes to the 13" as well.

15"s! Mainly b/c I own those same rims! Good taste my friend!

The 15's are choice !

hi stu,

can i ask you if you have done any brake upgrades or lowered your suspension at all?

I'd like to understand what is compatible with the 15" wheel set up. 

Thanks,

Emmet

I have IE springs and my car is lowered about 1 inch.  No rubbing or other issues with these wheels.  Brakes are stock.

I decided to run with the 14's today, for a change.

Those are the Rota center caps. I bought a set of Alpina emblems from Rogers Tii and glued them on. The Rota cap emblem is recessed a bit, and I made little rounds out of styrofoam and glued them onto the Rotas. Then, there was more or less a flat surface to glue the Alpina emblems on. It's been 7 months now, and they haven't fallen off yet!

 

Hi Stu,

 

Are these the emblems you picked up from Rogers Tii?  these appear to be stickers?  Or are they actual 'roundels'?

I put 17 x 8.5 on the rear with 205/45's. For the fronts, I have 17 x 7 with 195/45's. The 195/45's will be in on Wednesday, I'll post some photos later

Emmet, no those are not the ones--those are just stickers.  The ones I used are actual roundels--here they are:

Of course, they are more expensive, but they are nice!

I can't explain why I think these steelies so good, but I do.  I'd love a set in 15x6.
