Look what FINALLY showed up :)
...after a month+ of agonizing wait...
The overall design of the wheel is very appealing. It's a two color design, polished face with black inners. A very clean, yet aggressive look at the same time. The concaveness was only found in the 19x10 +22et but not as concave as I thought it would be. Although the 19x8.5 have a low offset of +17et, there was no concave face to be found due to the spoke design. The spoke design sitcks out a little more than what i thought it would, making them worse off if any curbrash were to happen (which I highly doubt I will do). Although I kind of dont like the spoke design (which defeats the concave face look I was going for), I'm gonna slap these on and see what the final verdict is. The wheels themselves are pretty heavy but being 19s, I'm not too concerned right now. Tire size: 245/35 in the rears and 225/35 in the front. I'm going with the super stretched look. Don't hate... plus the whole setup wouldnt fit with meaty tires anyways.
19x10 +22et
19x8.5 +17et
Weight of these behemoths are ~23lbs front, ~27lbs rear.

Sweet. 
Can't wait to see them installed and see how it plays with your "VIP" image you're going for. Looks like I'll see you at the Quality Nissan car show afterall........
Oh, and nice sock btw.....

I would but it sticks out way too much for my tastes. one size FTL.
you KNOW i would have gone with at least 9's in the front but oddly enough they only offer in 8.5 in the 19" sizing. weird. But do-able.

i like the wheel, what are they? the sizes are crazy, but i know you like your poke. planning on pulling? i think they will work real well on the a32. i bought some new wheels too (incredibly baller, not particularly impressive offsets/sizes but theyre what i need to fit)... pics soon.

Be prepared to wait awhile 
.
The Works were sold a couple months ago.
I couldnt find the right wheel in size and price that I wanted between then and now.
I'm gonna slap em on and see whether or not I need to pull. I went the opposite route you did. Incredible sizing, but not impressive manufacturer. Tenzo Type M.... I'm pretty skeptical on the company but it does look damn good in person.
what wheels did you pick up??

i thought that might be what they were.
i suck at keeping secrets when it comes to my plans so:
lowedhart ldr diamond cut
19x8.5 +39 (73.5mm lip)
19x9.5 +45 (80mm lip)
might run a SMALL spacer ont the rear depending on the fitment.
heres the build rendering as it is planned now:

thats a nice looking wheel (ballin!), but like you said, not the most impressive offset...
you're not gonna bring the chrome trim around to the rear bumper? i think it will look better. needs a VIP spoiler too.

no chrome on the (rear) bumper (for now), no spoiler, just clean and (really, really, really) low. i'm pretty sure im going to have to run a slight tuck because once i radiused the fenders tire clearance became an issue. im gonna run a nice stretch and maybe a 3-5mm spacer if i can get away with it. the 9.5 +35 i have fit nearly perfectly (a hair of poke) so 5-10 mm in should be perfect. im not a fan of poke anyway and with no camber, bagged, and radiused it would look redicuous (i.e. fender sitting on tire).

I figured there wasn't a 9/9.5 size...definitely weird...

Cant wait to see how these things fit for you. I just ordered my rears with similar offsets (19x10 +24 super low disk) which by my calculations should work out perfectly. Later on I'll get the front (19x9 +24 normal disk) since I aint got the money coming in like I used to and these aren't the cheapest wheels in the world I gotta get mine in pairs. Hell, I was thinking about one at a time but the rears have to be special ordered and its cheaper by the pair with shipping and all from overseas.

I can keep a secret but I'll at least let the head of the cat out of the bag....................got some SSRs coming but not the lightweight type that most are used to on here. They are from the Vienna line and I've only came across these on one other car online besides the examples on the wheel websites.
What type of tire do you intend on running? With the sizes you mentioned I dont think you will be doing a super stretch (maybe to Max.org standards). I'm going to do 225s and 235s on 9s and 10s which is going to to have nice lil stretch to them to help give a lil more clearance. If you can find some Falken ST-115s I'd go with those if your budget is permitting. Hurry up and get them ***** on so I can see what kinda stance I may be working with. BTW, what springs are you rollin on.
^^This is an example of what I call a nice stretch. 235/35/19 ST-115 on 10j wheels^^

Slightly OT, but with tires stretched as much as they are in post #28, are the tires still 100% reliable and safe to drive on? Or is there a very small risk that you guys take when running setups like this....
Secondly, would if you decided to drive aggressively one day and take an on-ramp very fast. Are the chances of tire failure exponentially increased now with such a setup??
Just curious..........

Tire is gonna be the Federal SS595. 235's are a tiny tad too much for my personal tastes. i'd feel much more comfortable on 245s. Plus I think its crazy to drive with that much of a stretch for DD. As for clearance, I'll have enough to spare so I'm not worried about it. Test fitment for the wheel will happen at the end of the week so I'll know what I'm dealing with. I'm on GroundControls & Illuminas btw.

there is a risk of failure associated with stretched tires, but most of it is associated with excessive camber/camber wear that a lot of cars that run stretches have. since we're solid rear beam i doubt its as much of an issue.
