got my new wheels n tyres fitted yesterday so thought id share a couple photos.
took a long time to finally decide on these miro 111's in 20" matte black with falken 452 rubber.
i dont know of anyone else here in uk that has them, so maybe im a first?!
huuuuuuuge thanks to cal@sonicms who was extremely helpful and professional. he posted up a few options for me and then hooked me up with a great price including the shippin arrangements to get them to me here in the uk.
top class service all round and cant recommend him enough, will definatley give him future business, thanks once again cal!

Love the 111's good choice. Now all you have to do is get coilovers to lower the car to complete the look, get an M5/Mtech front, side skirts, rear mtech/m5 bumper, tints, new mirrors, m5 trunlid spoiler, and you're all set!

Thanks guys. Yeah I've got the mtec kit comin along with some vorsteiner bits. Sadly can't get the front tints, theyre now completely illegal here in the uk n no company will do them.

How's the ride quality on 20's. I'm trying to decide b/n getting the MIRO 111's in 19" or 20".
I love my smooth sport suspension, riding on stock 18's right now. Is your ride more rough on 20's vs stock?

Thanks guys. No real difference in ride quality as I had 18" run flats before. Get the odd scrape when givin it some spirited b road thrashin but otherwise all is good. Do find myself drivin a bit slower and more careful around town as our roads are terrible for moon crater sized potholes.

How much did you end up paying for the rims?
