i haven't experienced any rubbing, but i rarely have people in the back

Hey nice to see another car with the LightWeight lip How are you liking the wheels, they seem like a great bargain for the look - is the finish as good as it looks say compared to the OEM 19's - at cost essentially you can get 4 of these for 1.5 of the OEMS!!

Also did you by any chance get to see or consider the Anthracite color on these wheels - curious to know how much lighter they are compared to black and concerned that they would 'disappear' against my MG body color. Have to say the styling and finish look as good as many far more expensive options.

thanks! reason I got these wheels cuz I love the look of split spokes, deep concavity, lightweight, durable, and really affordable. finish looks great to me.

my wheels are anthracite. I think it'll look menacing on a MG M3!

Totally agree! When my car grows up, it wants to look like yours. . Can you post more pics of the front lip and side blades when it's a little sunnier? Also, I assume those are M4 side blades, right? Any issues with fitment? A few are running M4 side blades and they all seem to be spot on for the car.

Car looks great man. I just did ED on a similar build. Now just waiting for it to get stateside. Would you mind sharing where you got the spoiler? #respect
