While waiting my new custom forged rims, I decided to get these 20" Miro wheels (Hartge replica) for temporary use for 2 months.

The spec are as follow:
20x8.5 +40 front, with 245/35/20
20x9.5 +38 rear, with 275/30/20
Lowered with H&R Sport Springs

M-tech kit and reiger trunk spoiler are going to install next week, and patiently waiting my M trunk finisher arrive from quad_m


P.S. If anyone interested on these rims, they are going to be up for sale once my new rims arrive

Not bad at all. A bit bumpy if you looking for luxury limo ride, but great handling improvment. Only drawback with wider tires and 20" wheels is, the wheels will slow down the car quite a bit....

Not if they are forged will not slow it down near as much.

I meant towards the "bit bumpy" part. Not the wheel size. I'm not as cool as you guys...I only went with 19's.
