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'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.
