what do you guys think and do you think they will fit ?

Kinda ghetto looking if you ask me.

[dahamler]

This actually looks pretty good to me (considering), but the think the offset of those wheels are much too low.

[cooljess76]

You can send the Alpina alloys over to me as a penalty for defacing your gorgeous Ti with ugly X5 wheels:tongue:

[bob///M]

i do like the alpina alloys
i just want to go big this summer again

[ti-billy]

idk, i don't think they look that great to be honest

[bob///M]

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?

[bob///M]

i do not

[tiFreak]

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

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.

Weight is ~35lbs which is equivalent to most aftermarket 19s that arent forged or some type of forge.

[roadrash]

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.

those red powdercoated style 19's in that tiny pic look tempting....

I like it.

[TroyWagner]

what size are those 16 spoke rims above the second alpina pic?
