What size are they 19's or 20's????

18' I have an XI not an I. If I put 19's on the xi without dropping the car it will look like a 4x4. So I have to stick with the 18".

It't the BBS hands down. 18" deep dish rims will look like a 17" one piece wheel. It's an optical illusion. What about the CSL style rims from modbargains.com. They seem to be decent and very inexpensive.

Cheers,
Matt.
