what sort of wheels have you guys put on your CX-5 or think would look good on this car?

When I buy, I'll do a set of wheels. I want them to be black for a black or gray car, and I want the splines of the spokes to be thicker than the mesh type that are shown. Easier to clean, and then gives the vehicle a beefier stronger look. I think the brand is MSW? Type 48? From Tire Rack.

Just looked those up, I posted a pic of the same or very similar wheels in my first post, third pic from the bottom.

I think they suit the car really well, so they are a good choice. Ideally I would stick to OEM dimensions (225 or 235/55/r19) for a comfy ride and to not mess with anything. If youre going to get 20s, make sure the tire size is proportionate (roughly 225/45 or 225/50/r20 should be good) and the key is to look for wheels which are lighter or at least not any heavier then OEM. You can look up the stock wheel specs for your CX-5 online to find out this information.
 
A lot more responsive! I have some oversteer if I accelerate hard.

Sweet... If you’re looking for better grip and more oversteer around corners as opposed to understeer, try popping the alignment strut pins on your front axle. This will give you a more aggressive look due to the extra -0.5 degree of camber on the front axle which will improve cornering.

Alternatively, you can also get camber plates. A must have if you like to corner aggressively. What sort of coilovers did you get by the way?

Gonna move this to wheels and tires.. GJ...(uhm)

Thanks. I posted this in the general section so it can get more views.

nice! those wheels suit the car really well, love it. I would black out the chrome around the car and get some darker, even tints all around for a cleaner look. something like this:

.....and entertaining the freeway, with Post Malone's Rockstar. :)
Damn these Focal flax speakers and that shallow JL Audio sub, are great speakers.
You have seen me there? I haven't seen your car yet. I "travel" from Rose Bowl, to the 57.
