Hey y'all,  Wanted to get some input on the ride as of now.  Just finished the suspension two days ago.  Next up is going to be the Rieger kit and performance work (custom exhaust, intake ect).  Let me know what anyone thinks.

I like the wheels except that they're multi-lug.

Are you getting european bumpers to put the Rieger pieces on, since they dont make them for the Saturn bumpers?

Wow, I really like your wheels. Are those 18"? I've always been a fan of the wide five spoke.

they are 18" MB Wheels.  Really were a cheap pick that turned out to be a good one.  What about the bumper does the rieger kit not fit.  Are you talking about the rear bumper?  I was told the front was a full replacement...some info on this would be really helpful!  Thanks for all the positive feedback!

looks real good.  Is your car lowered yet? Ive got mine dropped with 16's and it seems if i put 18's id have way too much fender apron rub.  But all in all looks real good. Waiting after the winter to put my wheels on.

it is lowered...somewhere between 1.5 and 2" .  I haven't taken an actual measurement yet.  The 18s still have some room.  If I get a free moment this weekend I will get some clearance photos put up.  Thanks for all the positive feedback!

So these are the MB Five X wheels?  For some reason the Discount Site doesn't list an 18" version.

I like the gunmetal, similar style.  Too bad they aren't offered w/the correct 5-110 bolt pattern though:

yeah, it was an 18 in but they were a connection I made there.  I could put in a word to see if any overstock from last year still remains....
