Ok so i finally installed my wheels. Honestly i like them but i dont love them.. 
i know the car needs to be dropped but i also dont wanna damage the car for the future cuz im gonna drive it for another year or more... but not planning on selling it after that either.
So now im confused on what to do... its probbaly late to switch it for something else what do you guys think??
I should have stuck to something simple like the m6 wheel

Personally I think it's the stock kit that's the issue.
The rest of the car does not look sporty enough to match the wheels in my opinion. There's no doubt in my mind that the whole look would be a lot better if you have some kind of body kit.

To tell you the truth, not my cup of tea. But I think it defintley needs a drop. Get some coilovers if you are worried about ride comfort as you can adjust dampning & heightto your taste. Also a Mtech kit will make it look a lot better!

I am having the same problem with my m6 reps. Without the mkit, it looks like you slapped wheels on your car...To get that true custom look, you need the body work on these cars...Remember you are driving a touring package right now. p.s. what tires did you get? Can you show me pictures of your rear offset?

Yeah i agree with you... i think the start would be to drop the car... change the front bumper to the m5 one and all that but at the same time i dont love the wheel to begin with. I dont know what to do at this point :/

More mods, those wheels will look better when the car is sportier. You're local so PM Nerweezy about the kit and see what can be done about the height, do you have an Xi model? If so then the only routes are H&R springs or KW coilovers. Good luck, I think those wheels look good but can definitely look better
And u dont think i should change the wheels to like the m6 ones or something like it?
