Here's one of my favorites:



They affer a 19x10 and 19x8.5 but it runs about $385 each. A little more than what I want to pay, although I may be persuaded.

These beauties are only 18x9.5 in size, but cost a measly $136 each.

Here is a 19" concept I'm working on using a picture from VenomWS7's car.



This is the direction I'm leaning for my car. It would be 19x10 all around. 275/30/19 front and 295/30 rear and possibly a small spacer in the rear to bring it out a little if it needs it.

I found another interesting set of rims. They are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. They don't offer chrome, only silver and gray, but I could chrome them myself if I wanted to. What do you guys think of the look?

They look nice but I prefer the staggered look on an f-body, so say maybe 18x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear, gives it that nice mean stance

That's what that picture is. 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. See the fatter rear lip?

Here's a comparison:

Right but are they 19's all around ro a staggered 18/19 combo? I think the ones above are 19's all around with a different width and they look pretty nice but I prefer the staggered look with the same offset 9.5/10.5 IMO.

I'm guessing that Z car has 19 and 19. Staggered refers to the width, not the height.

That is the Neeper Moxy and I think they may be a bit over $400 each for the chrome. First place I would look is ebay, probably a ebay store. They have it in vette widths like 8.5 and 10" in 18", 19" and 20" but better offsets like 40-45mm in the 5x120 bolt pattern.



I've been scouring various wheel companies looking for 5x120 BMW wheels. Most of the time the backspacing is similar to our cars. I've also hit a few BMW forums. I have a ton more wheels, but most only go up to 9.5 wide and I'm looking for something like 10-11".
You can also look for vette wheels. The cray scorpion is a nice vette wheel. In chrome it is about $350, but a painted center and polished lip runs about $250. These you can get in some pretty nice sizes. The only thing I don't like is the small lip sizes.
