Well the good thing is I'm pretty certain it's down to a 2 wheel choice -
These in titanium (19")
The new CSL reps (18") - finishes are still tbd so maybe it won't stay an option
If I lived somewhere where the roads were smooth it would be 19s all the way, but I already ripped a tire on a bad RR crossing so I'm hesitant.

Now if those 1 piecers from Vorstiener show up soon with the right fitments...

I debated over silver vs. gunmetal and did a couple of quickie photoshops changing silverbullet's car to white (hope he won't mind). And I really like the look, plus I won't be such a slave to brakedust cleanup any more.

Silverbullet's car is running 235/265 tires without rubbing and he is lowered on KW V2, I believe.

Thanks for the images!!! This is a really cool wheel and I'm excited about it. It's a really tough decision for me because I keep going back to those black/white forgelines....talk about a slave to brake dust!!!

Here's an attempt at a gunmetal vs. silver comparison on AW.

while you at it, could you do that AW with matte black wheels?

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear. I thought he had rolled his fenders previously, but I may be wrong.

I'm sure 225/255 will fit just fine.

BMW PS will be fine.

Offsets:
46-48 Front
50 Rear

Tire Size:
235/35
265/30

Front: 225/35R19
Rear: 255/30R19
+48 IS an option for the 19x8.5. You could run a 255 with a very mild stretch, but a 265 would be better IMHO.

What's the center bore of these wheels, and are hub centric rings required?

Not going to lie, they look good. I'm getting tired of holding out for CSL reps that fit.

Can someone tell what tires silverbullet is running from the closeup pic? I just ordered these wheels and am debating about the 235/265 or a more conservative 225/255 tire combo. I know some tire brands run wider than others. Thinking about Falken FK 451 or Yoko S-Drives.

I don't think we even know for sure what offset Silverbullet is running, much less tires or brand.

Falkens run very small. I've have 235/35 Falkens on my 19x8.5 et40 front without rubbing. I assume with a slightly better offset you might can run a 245 Falken but not many other tire brands.

Silver Bullet is running PS2's with 235/35's in front 265/30 in rear. Btw, I went with FK452's in the same offsets... hopefully my setup will be here before next weekend.

Silverbullet is running Mich PS2s, generally known to have a fatter side wall then most. Even with the size and brand tire he was using, still 100% rub free! Falken FR-452s and Yokohama S-Drives are both great tires for the money. I'd say stick with the 235 / 265 combo so that you will have a bit more sidewall.

As I mentioned in my post above. Silverbullet is running the following set-up:

Wheel Specs:
19x8.5 +46
19x9.0 +50

Tires:
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
235/35/19
265/30/19

Here's a black and grey combo showing a CSL rep, not the Forgestar wheel. Looks good, if my car was black that's the combo I would do.
