Default Help me decide (rims)

So i got a set of is350 rims for a great price about a month ago and i havent put them on yet, but now i found a set of 10 spoke BMW 7 series rims for a ridiculous price and idk what to do!!!! lol

So Im just wondering what you guys think would look better?

There 19x9 and 19x10 and its from an 05 i think.

Heres a link of what they look like. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/1906229183.html

Well, lug pattern is probably going to screw you up. And it's only 3 wheels, so you'll still have to buy a 4th.

Ya well they make adapters for that, theres another thread on here where a guy put bmw rims with adapters to fit.
And that isnt the real link its just a refrence to give an idea of what they look like.

The adapter is most likely going to be 25mm. Factor that into the offset of the factory wheels. Not to mention I highly doubt these wheels will look good on the car. If you are looking for a cheap set of wheels just pickup a set or replica Mustang FR500 wheels. Good sizes with a low 20 offset.

I'd stick with the IS wheels. What color are your IS wheels? Gunmetal, chrome, or silver?

Well i got my IS350 rims for only 300 and these BMW rims are wider and larger for only
400 so im not really losing any profit here.

Theres no way i can get aftermarket rims for less than that without them being total knockoffs know what i mean mang?

And the IS rims are silver.

Did you consider how expensive 19" tires are compared to 18"? I'm also thoroughly convinced those BMW wheels will look terrible on an SC.

I would like to see a photoshop of these wheels on an SC. That would make this a little bit easier. The IS wheels are pretty clean though. People seem to love them on my SC. If your car was a 97+ or you had a body kit, I would say go for the BMW wheels.
