I have two sets of 19" wheels.
SET 1. OEM CC wheels 19"x8 et 41. 225/40-19 tires. Fit is perfect although the rear rubs a tiny bit on very nasty suspension compression (Bad Pothole). I would imagine it may rub some more if i have people in the back seat.
SET 2. Niche Verona M151 Staggered 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R. Same 225/40-19 tires on all four, the rears are more stretched thus no rub issues.
Wheels are white and match the paint on the car, the spokes are machined and clear coated.
Here are the pictures.




The NICHE wheels have a perfect fit, flush with the fenders and the concave shape looks killer too... even though i know its no RWD so it looks wrong but fits the appearance of the car.

Get outta here with your sunny skies and warm sunshine.

I like the OEMs.

Can you take some close ups of your black stripe (molding?) and the fender graphics?

OEM...the more spokes the better.

OEM look much better... The others don't really go well with the car.

Looks like a lot of people are choosing the OEM vs the Niche wheels.

Pictures seem to not favor the NICHE ones.

Strangely whenever i have the NICHE wheels on the car i get a lot of random comments and questions about them, not the case with the OEM ones.

Forgot to mention that the OEM ones are quite a bit heavier then the NICHE set up.

Thanks for all the comments.

It really comes down to what YOU want and what YOU like.

The OEM wheels don't get any comments because they look like they belong on the car from the factory.

That said the NICHE wheels do look pretty slick looking at them again. They seem like the kind of wheel that grow on you :cool:
