Staggered 19" M6 rims on - your opinions

Just fancied a minor change for the summer months of driving, so got myself some staggered 19" M6 rims, polished faces with black insides.

I think it changes the look of my car making it slightly more aggressive looking. But what do you guys think?

Looks awesome, but I would say that wouldn't I!

I actually took mine off yesterday and put the OEM 225M's back on - can't believe how much difference a set of rims makes.

Need to clean em up and get em on ebay

EDIT Just seen your rims in the classifieds - how come your selling 'em already?!

Sweet - I'm looking at a set of M6 reps for the winter tyre set!

thanks mate - birds of a feather, huh?

I was 'thinking' about selling them - just for a feeler to see if there was any interest

Do genuine M6 wheels fit or are they all reps.

Looks nice.

It looks like you have the same issue as me, with the right rear being lower than the left in terms of drop from the standard suspension.

Very nice indeed. It does change the character of the car quite a lot.

Nice lawn!

Car looks mint mate.

I think the wheels suit it Ross, I saw a set the other day that had the anthracite bits in Silver, looked really good.

Seriously though they do look good, i dont know if its the angles but i think they suit the coupe more than the cab in my opinion (sorry red)

Mine were the same widths but slightly different offsets - ET34 front and ET37 rear.

They also look a bot different as the painted inserts on mine are in anthracite as per the OEM M6 rims, I believe these rims have black painted inserts?
