New wheels for my 69 Project
 
Just got them. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Not a bad wheel overall. Best I could do within the limits of my budget. Gonna change the center caps to BBS caps. Gonna make some 1.25 spacers in my shop for them. These are actually BMW wheels. Thinking of running 245/40s and 275/35s. WHat do you guys think?

Well unfortunately, tis gonna be a while before I get them on. I am actually making adapters for them. Technical verbage....I am gonna make them with the 5x4.75 pattern to bolt on my hub and the 5x120 studed bolt pattern for the wheel. Im also gonna machine them with a BMW (74mm I think.I have to verify that) centering ring to keep them rolling true.

Joey,

I like those alot.

Approximately what would a set cost and how would someone go about getting them if you don't mind?

Umm I got them from Egay...Store was wheel boutique but the actual name of the place was Highline Wheels. I think they have a website if you search it. I paid $800 shipped to my door. Great price but beware that these are replica wheels, they are a little heavy at 35lbs and the finish is def not perfect (just some shadowing on the inside. Face and lip is beautiful) but like I said, with my budget, best I can do for now. Rears have a nice 3" lip too. They really are an atractive wheel if you see them in person. I dont like the center cap...gonna see if I can fit a BBS cap in there.

I wouldn't mess with that, if anything maybe a plain cap or paint the ones you have. BBS might not like having their caps used on another brand's wheel. Ya know?
