Thanks Rasta! I wanted Vossen CV3 or CV5 also but bit too much as I am leasing this car and plan to get rid of in 2 years. So this was closest look to CV3s.

JDR - sharp eye! Yes there is something in my camera lens! I also noticed this recently.

Do you know the widths of your wheels? I was asking because I'm also getting new wheels some time soon and just wanted to see what fits on this car and how it looks.

Rear is 20x9 and front is 20x9. I don't think 20x11 will work and have not seen anyone do this on 3IS. 20x10.5 some have done but i think it tends to stick out a bit and may rub. 20x10 is almost flush with the fender. Part of this depends on the offset as well. My rear offset is +40.

Tx, I think your wheels look fantastic. I'm not a fan of the OEM wheels with white (too dark for my taste), but your new wheels really stand out.

Just out of curiosity, what's the the ride quality like with the bigger rims and lower profile tires? Significant departure from stock?

Hey UncSpud - thanks for the comp!

Ride quality is a little bit more firmer especially hitting bumps or potholes. So just avoid them!

The widths are the same as stock but the tires are about 1" taller in diameter.
When the road is smooth you dont notice the larger tires.

There are other tire sizes in which you can go shorter tread height in which you will feel more bouncy or stiff but these feel right - not too short but not too tall like stock tires.

Yeah the stock wheels were way too dark for white car.
The ones I got are hard to tell but are actually a bit two tone.

The lip has tint of grey while the spokes are polished silver.
They also come in full black but again not fan of dark color rims.
