Thank you for the info Northstyle. I will roll fenders as much as needed but wouldn't want to do more. That being said what do you think?

No problem bro, I still ask around since the next setup I plan on running is going to be more aggressive with regards to offset and tire size. I just help out where I can.

As for what I think, I love how the ES1's look on a 2GS. I'm running them myself lol.

Thx bud sure appreciate it. Love the look of these and am surprised how affordable they are. Much higher-end looking than the Tsw or Axis.

Well,

Im back to the drawing board. Heard back from Varrstoen and they dont do any custom colors and the 19"s only come in hyper silver.

I may have to go with the Tsw's 19's.

They offer a 40 and a 20 offset. Can I do the 20 offset to get more of a lip?

Hmmm... guess a lot has changed with them. I know when they first released the ES2's they were offering them with powdercoating options (for extra $$, of course). Not to mention... my fronts (19x9.5) are Hyper Black. No clue what's up with them now though. Honestly, I'd just get them powdercoated locally if they're no longer able to do it.

As for the TSW's... again, it depends. Some manufacturers don't change the lips size/concavity/etc regardless of offset, and on the other hand, some do. You'll either have to search for information about the wheels or contact TSW or a TSW dealer. Good luck either way.

So looks like Im going to have to go TSW as I have to have the black color.

They offer +40 or +20 offset.

19 x 8.5 fronts

19 x 9.5 rears

Which offset should I go with? I want to bring them as flush to the wheel well as I can.
