I may have missed this earlier but, John, I like your painted calipers! Did you do those yourself?

The NM wheels look really good on the F56 body. Think the Golf is staring down the F56 in jealously.

The NM wheels are worth it. Very nice design and light weight.

What type of wheels are you looking for?

New only or vintage too?

There are options, but not a lot. We're pretty much saddled with high offsets so very little lip.

Two reasons...more common size so tires are much cheaper and since I am just on springs it will close some of the gap picked up some very nice Yokohama ultra Summer runflats for under 150ea

Those NM springs really made a difference in the stance.

I agree. Wish the front were a tad lower to match up with the camber drop in the rear but otherwise I am extremely happy with the improvements to both looks and handling.
