Just got the new wheels mounted, they're Niche Misano 17x8. I decided to go with the gunmetal because almost every other Hyperblue has black rims, stock or aftermarket. Currently she's still on stock tires, with Michelin PSS coming soon in 245/40/R17.

After 300 miles with the new wheels, they feel amazing. I always read how lighter wheels are a better choice in every aspect, and I'm sure this holds true in tracking and autoX, but these are 4 lbs. heavier than stock per wheel, with 16 lbs. added in total. I feel the car is far more planted from the extra weight, and I don't notice ANY negative impacts in handling during my daily driving, or spirited drives yesterday and today.

Thunderstorms have been hitting here for a while now, and they're gonna continue for the next week or so. I'll update this thread with more pictures when the sun decides to come out lol
