How is that finish holding up ?

mine are painted, (by me) and due to be redone come spring

I wonder how your car would look if you rattle canned 'em with the same Dark Teal from one of the t/u paint suppliers ?
Mine are going to be GT Silver to match the body, it's a bit darker than the current Wurth Silver

one of the nice things about the Formulas, they're pretty easy to repaint..a lot of surface to prep, a lot of hand sanding
but easy to paint

Wheels are such a subjective, personal thing. For example, I think completely blacked out wheels are hideous regardless of the style but a lot of people love them.



My car had twists when I bought it.





The twists really weren't my thing so I picked up a set of Sport Classic IIs.




Of course after spending time and money refreshing the Sport Classics, I got a set of the wheels that I had wanted the whole time. BBS RS-GTs

Thats a tough one. I think the oem 18” that look like the 19’s you have now are the best option for your car, but in your case you might regret it as your current wheels are a better looking version of those. I like 19’s, but the oem 18’s wheel is a bit more functional, and after you getting used to the ways your car looks now, you’d need to likely work on the stance to make 18’s look as good. A lot cheaper to spend $500 refinishing and straightening what you have now. Form or function, you make the call.

These cars drive remarkably better on 18’s. You can certainly feel more stability on uneven streets with much less sudden side to side road pull.

That said here’s my C4S with 19” Sport Classics 😂

I just put a deposit on 2004 C4S Coupe with what I'm told are 18" GT3 wheels (option code 416). But they have 4S wheel centers. Are these really GT3 wheels? Anyway, I'm going to see the car Monday.
