Hey Gang,
Have a dilemma here. I had a set of BBS SX wheels on my MMG 2021 GTR. They were originally the brilliant silver color, but I had a friend of mine powder coat them in pearl charcoal metallic and then machine cut them. My wife who drives a 2018 Tuscon limited ultimate and supposedly is not into cars and wheels absolutely loved the look of them and thought they would look great on her car. We just celebrated our 10 years of being together, so as part of showing my appreciation, I made the sacrifice and had my wheels moved over to her car. Luckily the Tuscon and CX5 share the same bolt pattern and hub size.
So here we are about a month later and I am absolutely missing having the look of the wider wheel with a lower offset. With that said, I am searching for new wheels, I might do the BBS again in the platinum silver as I love the look, but I could also go another route. My question though, is I have a perfectly good set of Continental DWS 06's with about 5K miles on them in 245/50/19 from the BBS setup. Do you think moving from a 19" to a 20" wheel makes a large enough visual difference to warrant the expense of a new set of tires? My goal is strictly for visual appearance as opposed to performance, and in the case of let's say the BBS, going from a 19 to a 20 with new ties, is about a $1500 difference. In other 20" wheels and tires set up, not as much, but just wanted to get people's thoughts who maybe have gone from 19 - 20, and do you think it's worth doing from a cost perspective?
Thank you in advance.
