I'm thinking of getting 20" Axis Penta rims... any Axis users/experts can teach me what is best?

1. Optimum offsets? how about the rear offset to bring the wheel flush?

2. at 20", should I go 8.5F/9.5R or 9F/10R?

3. Tire sizes and rubbing issues?


Thanks!

I had them and they are great looking wheels and had no problems with them on my 2006 550i.

I bought them from getyourwheels.com and he simply provided me with the whole set mounted and balanced and they fit perfectly.

Just checked out a local shop. Penta 19" (8.5f/9.5r) for 1100 US. With Toyo's, a little over 2 grand. (They said that there isn't any 10.5r for Penta.)

My wife hates them tho....
