Are they lighter? A lower unsprung weight would be nice.

I think its about 23 lbs for 19". This info is useless cause I don't know what my oem weights. Played w/ photoshop some more and here another pic. I think I'm about to pull the triger.

Your photoshop skill is getting better and better :thumbup:

Personally I like the previous one better on a Mystic Blue. Good luck!

Thanks! You mean the gloss black look or are you talking about the 1st pic on this thread?

Not my taste, but hey, if you like them, that's what matters. Good luck, and post pics afterward -- whatever wheels you decide to get.

I was talking about the 1st pic on this thread.

But now that you mentioned the gloss black again... tough choices man! Have you try to photoshop it again with a photo taken with the sun shinning on the rims? you might see the better result.

the wheels on your firs post looks hot, i think they are your best choice so far:thumbup:

With your new rims, you might want to lower it a few inches. I've done a PhotoChop of what that would look like.

Thanks for all the input guys. It is a though choice esp. if you going to spend 2k on a tire wheel package.

Yup, i'm planning on getting the HR springs =) no matter which wheel I decide to go with.

Here is my delima.

- Stick w/ OEM wheels and powder coat them gloss black or gloss gun metal. I would save myself 1K on new wheels and only spend like $200 on powder coating.
- 1st rims on post. I'm not sure about the quality of these wheels. Fitment is also qestionable. Haven't even heard of AZA before. Anyone have suggestions on another wheel that look like these? I mean there are the Hamman ones and HRE ones but they are both in the 4K range. I'm looking for $1500 max.
- Beyern wheels. They are designed for BMWs by TSW. Reputable company. Fitment is perfect. 3" lip, wow! Heard alot of nice things about them.

It's amazing how hamann got rid of that 4" gap between the wheel and wheel well we have on our cars.

My recommendation on this:

- stick with your current rims, they do look great, gloss black them to be a little bit more special if you want. I would save the money and get the bodykit, which IMO has a MUCH greater visual impact (or even just paint the bumpers)

I stayed away from the multi-spoke and 5 spoke because they are too comment. I also find a lot of the rims look good only if the car is lower or with some sport-looking body kit (your current black fender trim is the opposite directly - makes the car look higher than, as a nice SUV look should be!)

I hope I didn't create more delima to you :confused:

Good Luck!
