tire size or wheel size?
i got lucky when chase bought out washington mutual. since i had a CC with each of them, certain customer's were entitled to 0% for life as long as they pay their minimum each month!

A word of caution on the suspension. All my research tells me the V2's won't fit an XI. I'm in the same boat as you - I don't need the adjustability of the V3's, but am planning on them because they are the only one's that fit (unless further investigation of the ksports yield positive results).
Add me to the list of Xi owners looking into wheels....i've been looking for monthes guys...i want to do wheels and coilovers (KW) at the same time
Wheels
1. 19" staggered VB3, i got a price of about $1950 with tires mounting, balancing and TPMS sensors
2. 19" V710, i got a price of about $2100 with tires mounting, balancing and TPMS sensors
3. Miro 19x8.5, i got a price of about $1900 with tires mounting, balancing and TPMS sensors
In regards to the coilovers, i was told that there is no need for the V3 and to purcahse the V2...i got a price of 1850 for them

You cannot find forged wheels for that kind of money. I'm on the brink of deciding whether to go forged or not myself right now, but the amount of money it costs is like triple to quadruple the cost of Vorsteiners. And with a car like mine, for example - 530Xi - my biggest concern is to keep things in proportion. I don't want to be "that guy", with five thousand dollar rims on a 15k dollar car (too "Jersey Shore" for me - I'm already Russian, so its not like I need any additional stereotypes chasing me 
).
That said, the DPE Monoblock wheels are absolutely gorgeous. If I had a 550 or an M5... heck, even if I had the 535Xi, I'd go for the DPE MT20 in a heartbeat!
(BTW Michael - member Acuteperformance - has THE best deal on these, definitely).
That said, I can buy two sets of CS-01s and tires AND have some money left over for the same amount that it'd cost me to get the DPEs. And its still a tough decision - I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to hold myself back. If I get a tax refund or a spot bonus, watch out!

Still waiting for a confirmation on the fitment from them, but if you can confirm for us, would be great!
+1
Recommended size is usually 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 for staggered 19s, but IMHO 285/30/19 in the rear is a better fit, because it has a closer overall rolling diameter match front to rear.
