This actually looks pretty good to me (considering), but the think the offset of those wheels are much too low. | | | | | 05-25-2010, 09:30 PM | #4 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
You can send the Alpina alloys over to me as a penalty for defacing your gorgeous Ti with ugly X5 wheels  | | | | | 05-25-2010, 09:33 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Scotland coatbridge Posts: 197 |

I like the Alpina's best of all the ones you've posted. The X5 wheels just look heavy and bulky. Any idea how much they weigh? __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

I kinda like the rim style, but 19"s is too big IMO, they're probably pretty heavy since they're intended for a 4x4 V8 SUV | | | | | 05-25-2010, 11:10 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
Get 4 fronts and a set of the fronts or youll need a spacer for the rear. 225/35/19 will make a slight stretch to keep it under the wells without a roll or with a mild roll. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....9SXL&tab=Sizes Weight is ~35lbs which is equivalent to most aftermarket 19s that arent forged or some type of forge. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Wow... 35 pounds compared to the roughly 18 pounds of the 16" Style 43's on my car now. I think you'll definitely feel the difference in the way your car handles, especially when accelerating. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
