You're best off contacting BBS directly about that. I'm not sure if their whole line is available custom drilled. You also might have to worry about the proper offset.

Looks like they do make RGRs is 19".

I found a picture of a blue Viggen with 19" mesh TSWs (I think)

I really like the look :

I think the wheels you have on there look far better than the ones you are considering.

Even the wheels on the blue Viggen?

Half a pound total? You can negate that with a bag of groceries. Or not taking a dump.

I think the 5 spokes look better.

Yeah but that's not unsprung weight. Lighter wheels/suspension will actually make a difference in handling.

IMO, if you are going to have to slow down for small bumps in the road as a result of these 19" rims then you shouldn't get them. I can't stand huge rims that leave so little tire left they are only partially functional as tires.

I say keep the 5 spoke. 225/40 is pretty damn low profile already....going to 19"s is just asking for a bent wheel. Lower the car more if you don't like the wheel gap.

Larger wheels generally look better than smaller wheels, but you don't seem to understand that there is a point of diminishing returns, and there is a point where larger wheels look WORSE.

You're just going to hit a pothole and dent them anyway.

I just received my lowering springs - so before I decide I'm installing them (with Koni adjustable shocks/struts).
