Well, this thread is coming to an end for me. I've put in my order for some 19x10 chrome C6 rims. The deciding factor for me was the extra spoke clearance. I'm going to slip some 14" rotors and 4 piston Brembos up front and needed the room. With the BMW and most of these other rims I just don't know if they would have the clearance I need.

I'll let you go with a couple of Photoshops of what 19" C6's would look like front and rear.

from those pics, its gonna look goregous. i think u ended up makin the right choice. its too much of a risk to go with bmw and maybe find out that they dont fit or not enough clearance.

If anyone needs any info on the rims in this thread, let me know. I still have all the details on them.

They do, but they are known to have little brake clearance. They also hide the brakes and are harder to keep clean with all those little holes. That's a couple of reasons I didn't go with them. They do have nice, fat lips though.

I found those pics last year before I had interest in new rims, so I didn't save the owners name or a link to the pics. That car has 18's. The 3 original pics I have are below.

I think those are the same ones from this thread, but in chrome and 1 inch shorter.

Those should look good.

i would say to fill in the wheel wells, go with a 19" set up and a 35 series tire. on a lowered car they fit really good and still give you room for your suspension to move..

i am a fan of rims with a lip.. i took some pics of mine..
