Are those M6 wheels? IMO flatter spoked wheels flow better with the lines of the 2IS but they look good nonetheless.

Those look very similiar to m6 rims but i don't think they are. M6 rims are a little less angular if that makes any sense IMO.

I've always liked the m6 rims and wondered how they would look on our car.

I think it would look better if you lowered the suspension.

They are nice but look too much like BMW M6 wheels. Every wheel will look 3 times better if you lower your car.

Yeah, the tires seem pretty thick to me too. They definitely look better than the stock rims but like everyone else said, lower it, and then it'll look 10x better. You don't even have to slam it, just at least close the gap

nope. i'd rather roll stock 18's than this. agree with all posts above. your only saving grace will be to lower with at least decent drop springs.

no head turns with this setup other than to try and figure out what you did.

i know you said not lowering but it would look great. the wheels dont look bad in fact i like them, not the oem clean look like the BMW's but nice none the less. if you like them thats all that counts. i understand the meaty tires too, if this is your DD then i offers the peace of mind. have fun with them bro.
