Go aftermarket, if you can afford it. Our cars look SO much nicer with a 18/19 or 19/19 setup vs the stock 17/18 in my opinion. For stylish and lightweight wheels that don't break the bank, start by searching this forum for the following keywords: "forgestar", "tsw nurburgring", "tsw interlagos".

Here is an idea.
The wheels and tires on my car will be for sale very shortly. The car is currently at the shop. I suspect it'll be there at least another couple of weeks if not a bit longer. Once I get it back, I'd be happy to sell these to you.
PM me if you are interested. Sorry for the crappy picture. It was the only one I had on my phone.

You do not need to run a staggered setup. I've run 18/18 and now run 19/19 without a single issue. Just keep the overall rear wheel/tire diameter more than the front, and your AH/TC system will be happy.

I want a set of CCWs. Agree on the value of these as they look good and are light.

I like the look of 19/19 setup better than 18/18. As for ride quality, there was no noticeable difference between the two
