This is my new CX9, the chrome was wrapped with gloss vinyl, the front windows tinted and the wheels replaced with 21x9 Satin Black Advanti Wheels.
I did initially have the stock 20*s painted black but wasn*t happy, so went for the slightly wider and more aggressive set up. My main priority was an improvement in looks and handling, without too much increase in road noise. I do realise 22*s would*ve looked better, but wasn*t willing to compromise the refinement of what is the quietest car I*ve ever driven.
The tyres are 45 profile so still have plenty of sidewall, which I think is key for noise - 22*s would be 30 or 35 profile which would ruin the car in my opinion. I*ve learnt that lesson already after putting low profile rubber on a CX5 - which I*ll also post a pic off...
Cheers!
