Thoughts on these wheels???
I think they look hot.
I'd probably stick with 18"s and do 18 x 8.5 out front and 18 x 10 out back
Not sure if i want to upgrade to 19's...i already worry about bending wheels when driving around bay area's shitty highways!
bbs rs ii wheels (http://www.tirerack.com/WheelCloseUpServlet-1234/wheelCloseUp/BBS/RSII/Sil+w%252FPol+Stainless+Lip.shtml)
So my question is if i were to go for these wheels.....
1) my ride height would remain the same....but would it look better lowered?
2) anyone have pics of these wheels on sterling grey?
this is just a forethought right now.....i made a killing off of vmware stock....so i should be able to talk the wife into this! :) ....

ride height depends on the tire size you choose to go with. use this calculator and you will be abole to see if your ride height will go up or down.

i'd probably go with the tire size thats as close to what my stock 18" tires are...the only difference would be these maybe .5 inches wider....

well if your rear rim is .5 inches wider and you are running the same tire as you have in the rear then, yes your car will be a tad bit lower in the back, since it will be stretched a bit.

Thought I put a pic with a E39 with same color so you can get a feel. I think I like these better than the ones with rivets.

they look ok..i guess :(
the lack of lip is a turn off...i need lip....
lip is good
/seinfeld with having the upperhand in a relationship!
friend of mine is selling his for 1500 with tires...
i know its a pretty good deal (they have some curb rash on em)
but i can get em refinished...
so it got me thinking....

You sould go with 19's stay the way you are but if you go w/ 18's lower the car it will look 100 times better.

well the whole point of me doing this (just to give u more background)
is as such
i need new tires anyways
a decent set would probably run me 1000 or so installed
if i can get these wheels/tires for 1500 then it maybe a good deal and i have an extra set of wheels to swap on/off when i get bored between the two :)
