Default 19" BMW Rims - What do you think?

More rim styles are on page 2 and 3
Hey guys. I was just trolling through some beemer rims on ebay (Yes, I know the bolt pattern is a little off) and I ran across these in 19x9 and 19x10. Assuming I change out the center cap, how do you think these would look on my black TA?





The offsets should push the rims to near the edges of each fender, which is good. It reminds me of the 19x10 C6 chrome rims I'm thinking about.

I don't know about those. Maybe a different rim? I like the low budget idea. I'm sure those rims are the quality of a CCW/FISKE yet probably cost much less on the market.

Not feeling them for the fbody but maybe if there were some pics of them actually on a fbody then it might be easier to tell.

maybe a lil bit less spokes and they would look good. i dont think those would match up with fbodies. but if you like them, then you should get them.

They would probably stick out a little on the rear also, a friend ran into this with some 19" BMW wheels and had the wheel mating surface machined. Still a very tught fit and with the lips rolled flat they still rub a little.

This might help what it looks like. The offset looks pretty good.

Well, I was regretting starting a thread on them about 15 minutes after I did because I was having doubts. There are nicer BMW rims out there. Then I see this pic above and it kind of changes my mind. I probably won't get them, but they do look nice.

I was just saying that. Post pics if you have any.

The thing about most of the BMW rims places is that they sell them staggered. Usually like 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. So I asked a lot of places about buying 4 of the rear rims. I'll just have to wait to hear back from them.
