Beyern Wheels

Thinking about getting 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear. I would also powder coat the mesh part gunmetal to match the plastic bumper but leave the chrome lip.. I'm also going to replace the stock springs w/ the ones offered by H&R (1.5" lower). Should I go for 20s? Anybody had experience w/ Beyern wheels?

Here is a pic of the wheels on a 330

No experience with them, but very sharp!

I think they are made by TSW wheels. (Edit: yes, they are: http://www.tsw.com/about.php . Scroll down.)

Be careful with powdercoating. It'll add some weight to the wheel.

Are there any alternatives to powder coating?

Painting them.

My experience with powdercoating added weight. My motorcycle frame, swing arm and handle bars were all powdercoated. You're adding a "shell" to the metal to protect it so there will be some additional weight. It may be negligible with your wheels but I wanted to point that out.

Sent you a PM MysticBlueX3...
