congrats, jxnco, now we have a new member who is gonna have his car later than me. lol

the five months wait is kinda long. i thought it would be faster after the factory's summer break. i've waiting for mine for so long...

yeah, ditch those ugly 17" rims. just get some after market ones and you'll be looking awesome

Thanks guys!

5 months is forever...

Still haven't decided what size and style of rims I'll get. 18 or 19? Silver color or black? 5 spokes or more than 5 spokes? So many choices.

Congrats! The 5 months will really test your patience! Why don't you join us whenever we have our meet so that you will have a preview of your car! For the wheels you should really consider at least 19 as the big body makes even 18s look small!

Enjoy the wait.. in the meantime you have f10post to get you through the torture

18 is a little small, for the cost of changing rims adding 1 inch seems a little waste, i have 19 and i can say easily go for 20 if u like the style, as others have here

i saw alot of f10 with the 18 multispokes .. seems like a lot of those, i dont think they were 550s so the first batch ones must have all come with those 18s ..
if u want 18s get the euro style 'turbine' diesel ones (8' front 9' back)

yeah i think i will go with the 19's. 18 does seem too small for this car. My only concern was the 19's might be a little too "bumpy" for my wife. Should be ok I guess.

Attending the meet is a good idea. Will definitely try to catch one when I find time!

Thanks!!
