Need some advice, currently have stock 18" style 124's that came stock on my 545. Oh and there is alot of tread left on my 124 tires. Does the kit look awkawrd with 18's?

Thanks guys.

i think you should go with the wheels first. that's my plan, then get the m tech. it was my preference because i had my eyes on the wheels for a while...good luck!! either way you won't lose!

I say the wheels first, it does make a big difference on the car.

I have a 545 as well and am doing kit first. Honestly I just could not make up my mind on wheels and the kit was a easy yes. Also I waited too long for wheels and here in the midwest I can get enjoyment out of the kit year round vs wheels right now for about 3 months.

Thanks guys, just ordered the kit. wheels will have to wait for a few more months, I just hate to have to buy new tires when i have so much tread left on the 124's.
