And here's what he told me: for bbs RXII in 19" format they can only bring 8,5" (wide) on the front and 10" on the back. Now i know that style 166 are 8,5 and 9,5 but he assured me that putting 10 on the back won't be a problem and won't cause any rubbing whatsoever as long as i stay decent with the tire size. I told him that i understand decent (on the rear) a 285/30 R 19 rubber. Now i'd like to ask you guys if 10" on the back isn't a problem or if he trying to bull$hit me!?
Thanx.
Oh and btw the price for all 4 rims is: 3250euros. How do you find that?

i'm sure 10 is plenty fine in the back but shouldn't offset be taken into consideration with that?
dunno about the price on BBS, just that the RXII is a nice wheel.

Well when you are in that price range I would consider Hartge classic II 19' but no doubt that the BBS 19' will look killar too!
Only a trip to Germany would do it.

Guys help me out with this...can you find more differences than i can between BBS RXII and RS-GT?!
RXII
and RS-GT
The bolts are at different positions, the finish is slightly different and the caps are different...but that's it?! I mean really that's the difference between 2 models? What about weights?
Pls help.. i'm so mixed up right now
Also if it were you what would you choose?!

Indeed i would consider that if i could find a way to get them here, but there is no way to do that.

RXII is cast, IIRC.
