Thinking of getting new wheels, BUT....
Will these slide on to the tires I currently have on my 214's? Will I loose my tire warranty if I do this? (I can just say I painted the stocks, right?)

Those replicas, heavier than stock, are 9.5" width, vs the 10"f & 11"r width you currently have.

Try these guys, you would have to paint them black, but they are selling refinished OEM wheels for about the same price as the reps on ebay, so they are the correct widths. 10" front and 11" rear and OEM for the same money. You can have them painted flat black for not a lot of money and it is the right set of wheels instead of the cheap knock off's that are not even the same widths for some odd reason.

You should always consider the weight of the wheels when buying new wheels. I switched to some 20" wheels from Rennen. Not only are they lighter than the 19" OEM wheels, they are forged and stronger.
I noticed a more eager response to transitions, acceleration, braking and turning. Even the steering felt lighter. See this thread. I got them from Sean at Oakville Motorwerks for a really good price. You can see some of the Rennen wheels here

Thanks for the help GUYS! I think I'll work around what I have now..
It will probably be cheaper to paint my OEM ones matte black and then just paint them back to OEM silver when my lease is up. I dont even know if that will work cause I have the $3/month Rim protection (my wife isn't the best driver)
