Default 19 inch that resemble O***s

Well I was going to buy some sportline rims, my wife had previously liked them but today thought they were too bmw like. Any one know of 19" chromes that look like OEM 17" alloys. Also is there any way to get ones and place the L emblem in the center? (also I am not sure why the OEm in my subject ahanged to ***?)
Thanks
E

The style of wheels that TXStyle used to have on his GS I always thought looked like a big OEM wheel.

Think they were Modas, will check and edit.

Those are quite nice. I sure would like a lip, but staying with the OEM look I think i am out of luck. Who sells those rims?

Tire Rack carries them I believe. Please check the thread below before placing your order

I don't believe they come in chrome and that TX had his done after he bought them. Not sure if Tire Rack can do that for you or if you'll have to get someone else to do it.

Is there a way to replace the center caps with the L symbol?

Since the only come in one size from tire rack (19x8), should I keep all the tires the same, or go with larger for the rear?

What tire sizes will fit on this.. The OEM like 245/35YR19 should, but can I go wider for the rear??

Sorry to bump this back up. But I can not seem to find the 19" rear option. Tirerack has two 18" sizes 18x8 and 18x9 but only one in 19" , 19x8. I was hoping to find these somewhere. Any ideas? My wife likes these much better than the speedline options I was going to purchase. (19x8.5 and 19x9.5)
