Default 19" BMW wheels

Ok, for the record I hate most 19" wheels on 4th gens. But, I am building this car on the cheap and found these wheels for almost nothing. They fit and with a drop don't look too bad. What do you think?

9.5" 40mm bs

Please don't mind the body work going on.

They are Axis. I thought they looked pretty good but I know you guys are tough. Like i said they are a little big for me but when I lowered it I liked it. Now I gotta finish the new motor and the body.

I like them. Put a taller tire on them and they will look even better.

I've got 19x10 (fronts) and 20x11 (rears) CCW 505a wheels and the tires on them now have NO sidewall at all, and I hate it. The rears are 325/25/20 and the fronts are 275/30/19 if I remember right. I looked at tires yesterday and Nitto has some drag radials I want. They are 315/35/20. The taller sidewall makes a big difference on big wheels.

Yup absolutely. I ran 335 nittos on my blower car and the side wall made a world of difference. Fair warning tho, dont expect miracles with the nitto. At 763rwhp they were better but still worthless. Car trapped 142 but ran 10.20s on that tire lol.

I won't be making near that much power, but I'm sure even with heads/cam, the Nittos will be breaking loose on the 20 inch wheel. If I ever get lucky enough to make that much power, I'll buy a dedicated drag setup.

I had 19's in my old Camaro and really liked them, sold them to a BMW owner after I got rid of the car.

Those look great. I still think they'd look better on a TA though haha. Nice choice!
