Ah, I confused you with another SGM Auto owner then, probably the OP lol. The Brembo wheels aren't all they're hyped up to be. The +42 offset kills them for me. They're too tucked in. I love the style of wheel, but they're just as narrow and skinny looking as your stock wheels. I had 1" spacers all around on mine and I loved it! Looked so much beefier...

Thanks everyone.

I thought about buying them but I hate the factory Pirelli's and until I saw your pictures, didn't really like the rims. I may have to re-evaluate. Nice looking car by the way.

How do you like those tires? I'm thinking of getting the exact same ones.

I really like these tires, they are the Pilot Sport A/S 3 in the stock 255/40/19 size. They are quiet and have good traction so far on the packed snow. I can tell they don't stick as well on dry pavement as the F1 supercar tires it came with, but that's to be expected considering this is like a 500 treadwear rating tire instead of 220. For an all season, I can't complain. Probably one of the better/best ones out there, even though they aren't cheap at around $300 each.

Thanks for the info on the tires. Even though my stock Pirelli's only have 10,500 miles on them and have good tread still, they are horribly loud to the point that I cannot stand to drive the car with the windows up. The A/S 3 is one of my top choices for replacement.

If the Brembo wheels on CL had any other tire than the stock Pirelli ones, I would probably buy them but I hate those tires so much, I don't want another pair.

Our stock tires aren't the same as yours, but they're just as bad, with slightly more dry grip.

Whatchya need is a couple of GoPro cameras with some spare chargers to keep them going all night (or something similar that runs off motion detection).
