Hello!

I need your help: pls what rims should I choose for my 530 xd 2006 model I have?
Now, I have 138 wheels with 225/50/17 tyres and I changed them already with the winter tyres so in next spring I would like to buy a new set of rims - 17" too, for my summer tyres - so I searched with tirerack and I saw I have few options:
Borbet Type TS (offset +40), SSR Competition (+44) - It should be 7,5 x 17" exactly the oem wheels, in order to be used with the same set of tyres so what should I take?
Any other ideeas? I found also ASA and AT Italia

Can I go with 8 x 17" with 225/50/17? Pros and cons facts?
or just stay with 7.5 x 17? perhaps I can find something lighter than stock! Anyone knows what weight 138 wheel has? (the rim only of course)

Wating for your answers! thx!

bye

the dark rims look great on some colors, so if my car was black or silver i would get the ones on the left
