Right! Well I know these wheels are definitely different, but I don't think they look "Bad", and there are a lot of BMW owners that don't think so either. These are pretty expensive and popular BMW wheels made by Breyton. It would be nice if more domestic car owners were more open minded, but I still respect and welcome their opinions anyways.

People talk bad about tacky, ugly wheels that generally don't fit right. There are PLENTY of "different" wheels out there that get lots of praise.
(ADR, Bose, Drift-R, Forgestar, Sportmaxx, Simmons, TSW, Miro 111 etc).
The reason you see so many CCW, OE, RPM, Fikse, HRE etc. wheels are because they are built to fit our cars perfectly, look great, proven to hold up and are generally lightweight (and in certainly casese like OEWheels for example, they are really inexpensive).
Being "different" is fine, but most want functional, this means not overweight or oversized.

Yeah I'm probably going to go with a 19 in the end. How did those ride? I'm not too concerned because this car is no longer my daily driver, but I still don't want to have any cavities shake loose or anything

I've never seen a concave rim on a f-body though so that's why I thought I might give it a try. I see them on expensive, widebody/z06 corvettes all the time

They look good in BMWs, those do not look good in an f-body. Wheels must complement the car. Im running HP Racing Evos which have a 5x120, a BMW spec wheel.
Ride is similar to stock, even lowered.

Chaman, I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. There is no reason why this wheel would look good on a BMW 3 series and not on a f-body if the stance were right. If these wheels were painted and had properly fitting tires, they would look really good on a lowered Camaro or Firebird.

And they are completely different cars, but that doesn't matter that much. Are you saying your wheels wouldn't look good on a 3 series?

IMO, If you like it do it, only you have to like the way they look.
Myself, I think they would look good high gloss black!
If you want to tuck the front wheels in more buy a set of UMI front upper control arms. Since there shorter than the stock upper arms they'll pull the wheels in. FYI, you will need to get the front end realigned after installing them.

I'd never win that one because this is chevy forum, and I'm talking about BMW wheels, dude. That'd be like me going on a BMW website and asking them if they like zr1 wheels.
And they are completely different cars, but that doesn't matter that much. Are you saying your wheels wouldn't look good on a 3 series?

Sadly, those wheels you are trying to put in your f-body do not look well in your car.
My wheels have an offset of +38 which fit perfect without any rubbing issues.
