i think it is, and its deep dish too .
i know its a 2pcs rim and the 19x8's weight is 23.6lbs. And yes they are heavy, but i think its worth it for the looks.

Also the only place i have seen them is the new Stillen catalog i just got, but i cant find them anywhere else

i think at 19 inch with 23 pounds..a 17" version shouldnt be too bad at all, which is what size id get i dont know about you but 23 pounds isnt tooo bad since the 5th gen wheels weigh in at 23-25. hmm. good choice. leme know what happens,

Check out these Enkei RSF-2's. They look similar to the ones above, not too heavy (19.8 lbs), and pretty cheap too.



Here's the link:

NICE

I did not know that those OZ's come in 2 Piece, they are nice wheels. So your going with a 19inch wheel, all show baby, it will look nice. Just close the gap to the fenderwell and they will look very huge.

i was orginaly looking at the superlegerras, but then i stumbled across the superlegerras III, as these are called. They only make then in 18" and 19". So when i can im going with 18" and GC/KYB AGX set up and give it a nice 2" drop.

Deep dish. It means the offset you need most likely won't be available, but if it is then it's fine.

Call Tirerack, they should have them.

In the latest Tirerack catalog they featured those wheels on a silver BMW 5 series and it was sweet. The one piece OZ Superleggera's look wicked on the 4th gen so you know these would look wicked too.

Hey Vyrus I know what you're saying about the lip on the rim and rear wheel drive but many wheels out there with lips can be used quite nicely on front wheel drive cars too. One of my favorite wheels for the Max comes with a lip. Racingh Hart C2 machined silver (3 piece wheel).

For the hardcore enthusiast wheels with lips almost always create issues with big brake kits. If you're planning to go with a big brake kit in the future please purchase wheels accordingly.

Well, the 5-series is a RWD car with a different lug pattern from our car, and most wheels that are made for German cars aren't meant for Japanese ones (and vise versa). But some do, so don't take my word.
