My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Carbon Black
So finally, after having my 172M's stolen last October, I've got my new summer wheels and tires shipping to me! It's going to be a bit of a wait yet, but Cal@Sonic MS (big thanks by the way) sent some pictures of the finished product.
I chose the TSW Nurburgrings after backing out of the Forgestar F14's (I ordered them a couple months ago and they were still waiting on the raw material to make the wheels), and finding the VMR VB3's are backordered till May or so. Turns out the TSW's weigh in at about 21-22 pounds apiece. I wanted gunmetal and the TSW's were only available in a matte version, so Cal hooked me up with a metallic gunmetal paintjob and clearcoat. I'm excited to say the least!

Front: 245/35/19 on 19x9; Rear: 275/30/19 on 19x10.5
I'm going to enjoy this set, and maybe later move on to 285s in the rear - sure seems like 10.5 rears will have the space! There shouldn't be any rubbing issues with this setup, right? Hope not, cause I'm going to be tearing it up on the Autobahn as soon as they're installed... but I'll post up pictures once the wheels come in in a week or so! Thanks for looking!

TSW are a solid company and the gunmetal finish should hide the brake dust for low maintenance cleaning.
