Just wanted to share a quick (and dirty) pic of the wheels I got from Mike at FIGS Engineering. For the record, working with Mike was great. He certainly puts his customers first. Plus, I got a personal tour of his F while at PPIR last weekend. Thanks, Mike!
Looks good. Its always nice to see someone running 19s with 255/295...too many have gone the bling route running 20s with 245/285 or narrower.
Not sure I agree with your reasoning as I bugged Mike for at least four months trying to get a firm commitment on 19's in the Vossen CV3's to no avail. I knew I was dead set on this wheel so I had no choice. If it were only my choice, I would have ran 19's with 305 rears. Just did not work out that way. I imagine some others would have stuck with 19's had they been available.
Nice wheels
I also have a set of BC Racing that are originally from Figs. They seem to be a good quality wheel so far. I'm running 255/35/19 and 305/30/19 Michelin PSS.
19x11 +55 in the rear and it took a lot of work to get them not to rub. Trashed a set of rear tires in the process and they still rub a bit. Waiting on Figs Mega arm, ect. to get the fitment just right.
This isn't a set up that is as simple as throwing them on and driving away.

I mean no disrespect. I just think shorter wheels make more sense. If I go aftermarket at some point I will probably look into 18s...they work well on the AMGs. Don't get me wrong, the 20s look really good and the ISF still performs great with 20s, but it is a slight performance step in the wrong direction.
I have an idea how mine will look now i have ordered these same exact wheels with a different offset and wider tires. Love how it looks. Cant wait to get my car done
