Default M550 wheels?

Do you think the Avant-Garde M550 wheels would be a good match on a SQ5?

Nice! What are your impressions of the springs and Nitto tires? I'm eyeballing the same for mine and they seem like a perfect fit.

So far so good. The ride is more "sport" than factory. It's a little harsher and more firm, which on some bad South Dakota roads gets a little boucy/bumpy. Overall after driving them on various roads for 500 miles I like them. I have taken a few roundabouts, curvey roads, and on ramps at a very good pace and the springs and tires were spot on. The car just feels very planted now, with very minimal body roll. I so far have really enojoyed this setup, even wife and kid approved.

Looks awesome. What spring are you talking about? Stock or something else?
