Given the choice, I would always go for the 19″ wheels, but like all the selections — I especially liked the wheels on the displayed prototype, as they appeared to combine the 17″ color with the 19″ design:

BIG THANKS to "krew" for coming through with these awesome detailed photos...!!!

Also, in my opinion, the "F-Sport Option Wheel Pkg" should be the same 19" above design, but in the very nice
Darker Gunmetal color....

... and with Staggered Set-up
  • Front: 19x8 on 235/40/19
  • Rear: 19x9 on 265/35/19

(Nothing Official yet.. )


As seen here:



Front



Rear




Enjoy,

Joe Z
