I've been slowly working towards that exact setup. I have everything now except the actual wheels and tires. Planning a big install day in two weeks. I'll run my 17x7 OZ Superturismo wheels for a bit longer still. Really pumped to run 16x8 low offset. Now I'm torn between Rota Grids as pictured above or 16x8 Enkei RPF1 wheels. Super tough call.

Woot!....man that's awesome. I bet you're excited. ****...I am and it's not even mine. lol

Now that I've found that this is the wheel set up I want. I gotta start working up to it myself. probably be a year or more for sure. Saving up now for either a Nividia or Milltek cat back which I'm planning to have installed by Helix this Spring when they have their tune event. So I can get both done at the same time.

Feel free to share what suspension components you bought for that set up. I'd be interested in seeing that. If you get a chance.
Thanks

Sean

Excellent shots of a great looking BRG F56. Very nice wheels. What a different look, too, between both sets.

These might be simple but they're mine and I love them.
16" MSW Type 25. Stock tire size. No spacers, no lowering...




Couldn't be happier.

Looks great! Not a fan of the roof rack but the stance and fitment are spot on IMO.

Thanks! Roof rack is pure function. I regularly have a kayak on top or a roof box for extra space. I don't always run it though. I don't mind the looks, I think it makes it look very useful and functional.
