Finally got my new wheels on. 20x9.5, 20x10.5 Tarmac (satin black) HRE FF01's. Tires are 275/35, 315/35 Nitto Invos. I love how they turned out. Aggressive offset that pushes them right to the edge but they don't stick out. I'll probably do a Grabber Blue pinstripe as well. It looks better in person, the cell phone camera just can't pick up the details in the black like a good camera will. Enough blabbering, on to the pics.

Nice looking car. I would pass on the wheel pinstripe, looks perfect how it sits now.

looks amazing!!!! It's amazing how great these cars look with a wheel change and lowering a little. Night and day difference and you're doing it right!!

Thanks for the compliments! :beer:

Not everyone likes wheel pinstripes but I'm a fan. It helps break up all the black. Easily reversible if I don't like it or get tired of it too.

Looks awesome, I'm really wanting one of these. We'll see if local dealers are ready to give them away

I got mine for under invoice back in January (damn I've had it 7 months already?!) and good deals are easy to find here now. That usually doesn't translate to Cali though. Much different market.

I think the stripe makes the car look fantastic.. is that Grabber Blue? and flat black between them?

Yes flat black GT350 style stripes with Grabber Blue pinstripes. They kind of wash out a bit in pics and look a little on the aqua side, but in person they're very bright and really pop against the black paint. Here's a better pic of them from a few weeks ago.

Man, that spoiler really fixes a lot of what I hate on the rear end of the '15s

It's the Roush spoiler and yeah I think it's the perfect compliment to the rear of the car. Not too much but just enough.

I agree the spoiler does compliment the rear end well. But wow does that setup look amazing man. I love how the rear tire sticks out just past where the bottom of the bumper and rear quarter flare in somewhat but not past the top of the wheel well. Doesn't get any better than that

Thanks! I agree HRE really nailed the offset. I was going to go with a 295 out back because it would actually fit the rim a bit better but I like the aggressiveness of the 315. It really pushes it to the edge of the fender.

Looks great. What springs are on the car?

Thanks! Springs are Eibach Pro Kit.

Car looks perfect but that 2nd pic shows the lines of the car the best IMO. Awesome.

x100 on the spoiler. Looks great. Really finished the rear of the S550. As for the wheels, love them to death on the S550. Perfect stance and fitment. Dont do the stripe though. The car looks great as it sits.

Car looks sick! I'd do the pinstripe, like you said it will break all the black up a bit.
