Here are my new, staggered, 19" VB-3's in Hyper Silver installed. If you want to know the specs of the wheels, click here:
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=velocity

Please note that the car was recently detailed too...hence the reason it's so shiny. I Zaino'ed it with my new, Griot's Random Orbital (Products used: Mothers Clay Bar, Z7 Car Wash, Zaino AIO, Z5 Pro (2 Coats), Zaino CS-Clear & Zaino Z8 Grand Finale).

The house in the background used to my crib. I decided to sell it. It was too small for me. Just kidding!!! Yeah right....I wish! It's actually Oheka Castle. It's the 2nd largest, private estate/castle in the United States (#1 is the Biltmore in Ashville, North Carolina. Vanderbilt Family). It's 2 minutes from my house and I figured what better place to take photo's of my new wheels and newly detailed car on such a beautiful day here on Long Island, NY.

Enjoy!

I like it, but maybe a slight lowering would make it that much nicer.

Thanks. It's plenty low. It has the H&R Sport Springs in it (Keep in mind this is the xi and I don't have any other options for springs/coilovers). I can barely fit a finger in the wheel gap. Plus, I live in NY. Lowering it further would be stupid where I live. It's just asking for trouble. Maybe the pictures don't do it justice, but it looks SICK in person.

Thanks for the comment though.

Looks sweet! They look much bigger than my rims without the rivets! I'm so tempted to get something similar now.

How's the ride with the 19" and springs now?

Get the M-Tech kit on and you are done Calton!

Nice C.!!!

Any rubbin' and/or clearance issue w/ those wheel offsets and tire sizes?
So the gap re-appear 'cuz your last pics after the spring installed w/ the OEM 18" wheel pretty much had no gap, how many finger can fit in back/front now?
