Put on some 19inch Alufelgen-SF-71 this week (essentially CSL reps), stock M sport suspension. I think they look fab, ride is worse, but they look too good to take off




I think they really make the rear of the car look much better proportioned..

CSL reps do look awesome. I guess you can get them in 18's from somewhere? I don't think I could live with the ride on 19's.

I'm currently running staggered 17's msport rims so wondered how much difference the ride quality would be effected

What tyre size have you guys gone for?
