They are a engineering perfect design in my opinion and I LOVE your cars that run them.

So in an attempt to be different....I continued to look for a strong and light forged 3-piece wheel and bought these Japan made SSR GT-10's .Speed Star Racing. They were the worlds first manufacturer of multi-piece wheels.

-19x9 et43 -245
-19x10 et24 -275

I'll need to slightly roll the fender arch in the rears to avoid max compression rubbing. Fronts are fine. These are the same offsets as I ran with my previous 19" wheels with the rears being 9.5" wide.

They also need a full restoration due to salt air in Japan and curb rash.

I have ordered CF -(blk. & Slvr.) center caps like I used on the Axxia Penta's to match my hood,trunk and side roundels.

What do you folks think ? Certainly not the common Z4 look....or German for that matter....but my roots do stem from the JDM world after all.

I'm thick, er.. thick-skinned .....so comment away,lol.
