19" wheels question.

I'm looking for set of wheels 19x10 for front and 19x11 for rear . Any suggestion where I can find them? What tires I will need for that? I'd like to change my 214 style wheels for 19"'s, but don't wanna lose the sport appearance of the car.

Thanks.

214's are by far one of the best for X5's sporty appearance, why would you want to get rid of them?

I live in Brooklyn NY (probably just like you) and if I can find 19" wheels, which going to look as sporty as 214's and the car will behave smoother - I'll change them. Too many potholes around and the car feels too stiff. It's not final decision yet, but I'm seriously thinking about it.
My other option is to change tires. Currently I use Lexani LX4000, but may be Continental or Toyo Proxes will be smoother.

I went with 20 reps 215. The tyres are less expensive since its a more common size

I probably will order Conti's DWS and keep my Lexani's for winter.
Thanks guys.

The 50i M Sport 223M 19s are 9.5 front and 10" rear. They are a bit recessed compared to the ultra wide 20s. They're not the best looking wheels though.
I kicked around getting wider 20s but will stick with the 19s for now.
