wow, change the offset to eliminate some lippage and your good to go. I dont feel bad at all getting the Italian OZ V/S Blitz. OZ has a great name, and both are suitable.

Very nice choice, great company with good quality wheels, my only concern would be weight, do you know how heavy are they??

Those OZ wheels look great, go for it!... just as long as the price of 19" tyres won't lead you to having open heart surgery from a cardiac arrest lol

Default oz's

I always wanted to know how that wheel would look on an sc. Can't wait to see it. As far as tire prices, you can find 19's for almost the same as 18's. I have Falken Azenis on my wife's es300. Since I like the quiet ride and low price, I tried to get them in 19 for my sc. They didn't come in the size I wanted. You can get them in 245-35-19 f and 275-30-19 r for about $900. I found that price in several places.

Go for it! Good luck!

I just got back from a visit with 1SICKLEX and picked up some OZ Monte Carlo's 17's they are pretty darn light. (putting them on my 325i) so i'd say the 19's wouldn't be bad at all in weight.

WAIT!!!! DONT DO IT!!!!!

before you buy them, check out the AMISTAD wheel. this is the wheel that O.Z. copied.
much nicer looking than the O.Z. and i believe you can get these a little cheaper.................

I am never going bigger than 16 inches. The price of tires is absolutely rediculous. Even good year eagle Gt-4 (all season) are over 100 each, screw that. My next tire will be Goodyear eagle ... uh, some summer only tire. They cost 125 each i think. So I factor a little more than 500 for the set, which is the most I'll ever be willing to pay for tires. Seriously, this is total bull*****. There is no way a tire costs anywhere NEAR that much for a manufacturer to make. Theres probably like $15 worth of rubber in those frikkin things.

Good job sticking to your guns! What else do you have planned, because you know mods are like chips, you cant have just one!! LOL

Espelir springs?
97+ aero, etc etc?

have you decided what sizes/offsets your gonna go with? The OZ's have that nice stepped lip that I like!

I'll probably run an offset of 50 (stock offset). The OZ i picked up this morning are Monte Carlo 17's and run a 40 offset and i love them, even though I currently do not have a camera, i improvised with my wife's Panasonic DV cam and took a screen shot (my sony DV is charging). looks great in person, horrible picture.

Since i am so pleased with these OZ, i will definately get them for the SC. These came off a track car from NC and were driven HARD every weekend for a year, not even the slightest amount of warpage to them strait and true. Definately says something about OZ wheels. The tires were TOYO RA's Competition only slicks and (ask Mike) They were MELTED from track use.... rims were perfectly strait.

As far as other mods, My 325i has been my track car in the making and has everything from hollow cams to Eibach and Koni adjustable suspension so now that i am almost done with it, the SC is next for the treatment.
