MM6 wheel installation round 2
I've finally gotten my continental extreme 235/35/19's mounted on my 19x8.5 45ET MM6's. Have to say the wheels look great and I've received nothing but compliments so far. I know the car needs to be dropped to look better but I've had the car for only 2 months and do not plan on getting coil overs anytime soon plus I think the stock suspension has great handling. As for offset I will have to look into it for 10mm spacers from ECS but will leave at is for now.
These wheels are replacing the stock 19" peelers with Pirelli Rossos. So far the ride feels a bit more comfortable than the stockies.
Thanks to Jason over at ModBargains (where I purchased the wheels from) for helping me out and providing excellent customer service (through the hick-up with the 35 offset not being in stock after I was told they were). These wheels came with blank center caps which you will see in the pics (I tried putting the stock center caps in which you will see but they didn't sit well and didn't want to risk losing them) , and metal valve stems which is a plus.
I would like to add that the wheels are very easy to nick/scratch the paint off, not sure if its the paint or the metal is soft but they seem very sensitive to dings or scratches . Guess that's what you get for buying replicas instead of the real thing. Nonetheless I am happy with the purchase and hope these wheels will last me for quite some time.
Enough, now for the pics...

Holy giant gaps Batman...
No offense, but those wheels look like they have a huge gap above them - way more than the stock 19's. Even Bruce's 18's fill out the wheel well better. Maybe it's because the tires are so small...
Doesn't look right to me, but...
