So I've come on the edge about ordering new rims or not. I really can't decide it right now, so I thought I could use some help.
It's either keeping my current wheels:
...or ordering these in the size of 19" (8,5" wide/2,5" lip and 9,5" wide/3" lip)
Please don't suggest 20"s as I am not getting 20" wheels, thanks.

Antti, if you're not getting 20s, keep your current rims. These won't look proper in 19s - if you want lip, you know...
keep yours and do the gray time attack on them. Your rims are great to begin with
As a matter of fact, post up some pics of your current ones

As a matter of fact, post up some pics of your current ones I've talked very much about the Schmidts with the importer here and they have been absolutely marvellous. They have answered every single question I have made and they have replied very fast also.
The 20" Schmidts actually have a narrower lip than these 19"s, but I don't want to have 20"s because of our roads and I don't want to mess with possible rubbing issues with higher tires.

I think there's more than enough of them on the forums.

I see your point about 20s - I actually totally agree with you too - roads in NY are really bad too. But what I was trying to say is: 19s with a lip will look smaller on your car than your 19s.

Yeah thanks I got it.
It really doesn't bother or worry me, because I've searched and watched lots of pics about 19" lip wheels in E60's and they look good to me.
