I don't know how I feel about those .. They're like the 111's but they're not. Maybe it's the black on the windows of the wheels that's not doing it for me. I have an Xi and it's also lowered on H&R's, but if you have the money go with the KW's. Michael from Acute Performance has a set left I think.

Front drop: 1.2 - 2.1 inches
Rear drop: 1.0 - 2.0 inches
There are also RD Sport solutions, but they are called chassis kits and are spring/strut combo's

I say sell the wheels and go with the M6 wheels now. You won't regret it. You'll end up spending more money on drop, kit just to make it look good. Then end up selling the wheels anyways.

i thought it'd be some ugly wheels. Honestly, I like them! Nice and clean. Definitely could use a drop in the future. Drive it for a year and then decide what you really want. There's no rush on thing. DOnt be like me. I have a virus in my system called MOD virus. I need at least one mod a month. LOL.

How much do you drive with the car annually? Do you drive around the city or long distance on a curvy roads? If you only want it to look good then its the cheapest solution. But if you want to get rid of the bodyroll and have better performance without losing comfort, then your choise is KW
. Its worth every penny it costs!I think your wheels look good like many members already said, I wouldn´t put more money on the wheels at this point. I would lower the car with KW or H&R and then start thinking about the bodykit and new wheels if you still want to change them.
