I actually thought about doing white. Color matched is something I've thought about. I was going to paint the wheels white real quick myself to get an idea but forgot to do it.
I'm running large adapters because I want the front and rear camber to be similar and at the same time I don't want to run a stretch that is very different.

Thanks guys. I still wish I had the Varianzas though, really miss seeing some fat lips haha.
Personal enjoyment. Isn't that why we all mod our vehicles? Seriously though, what kinda question is that?
In regards to not being able to drive it, refer to first post. I daily it....a good 60 miles per day and weekends vary. Just this past weekend I drove 2 hrs to Santa Barbara. I put on about 20k miles per year. Yeah so my rack and pinion went bad and so did my O2 sensor, but the reason behind it is not what you think. I raised the rear up 2.5". Quite a bit. That caused the front to be lower. Reason why the rear was raised is because I cut the fenders and I'm still in the process of clearing the wheels and not having any metal dig into the tires....
So before you go on anymore and say I can't even drive it, get your facts straight...and it's not like I'm the only person in the vehicle, usually have a full car FYI.

I've always been a fan of those wheels, I LOVE the concave. As for the fitment on your car, not my style but I definitely respect you for your crazy *** offsets.
I also think the wheels would look better in a different color. I think the white on silver is a little too similar, not enough contrast. Ever thought about some crazy bright colors? Maybe something like this but not so light of a blue:

I think white on blue would look D-O-P-E, but that's just me!
Anyway, props are in order

They got mangled like crazy when I had my KuRookie on, not to mention how many times I broke them and bought new ones each time. When the KuRookie cracked I got the Kenstyle made and was gonna have the sides filled in but forgot to mention it so I saved it for a later date. Since the brackets are off, never looked into gettin new ones with the OEM bumper. Right now I don't have a front bumper on anyway so it makes no difference. Weight savings FTW lol

19s are a bit difficult for OEM wheels, not too many out there. 18's would be a lot easier to go with. Perhaps some Benz wheels? I like some of their designs. I was looking into Audi ones as well.
I think something just doesn't look right about the metallic silver & pearl white together. Love the wheels tho, and everything else about the car. I dig the matching camber, Ive always thought it looks like your riding on a busted suspension otherwise, especially with concaves.
Your ride is ridiculous
almost looks like Im looking at a live photoshop.
Now if I remember directly you used some adapters to go from 114.3 to whatever the BMW wheels are right? So if I found some like Benz wheels I like I would have to get some adapters as well?
I'm on the anniversary Z wheels now and would like to change it up to something oem'ish

Correct. It's a 5x120 bolt pattern. I've been told you can get the adapters to be hubcentric to the hub only and you'll be good. I spent the extra cash on them being hubcentric to the wheel and I'm glad I did. It feels smoother than OEM for some reason. Didn't believe it when the guy said it would, but sure enough, noticeable difference.
I got the adapters from here: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/

Wow i just checked out that website and did a quick price estimate and its the same price, if not cheaper for a normal set of spacers for our car.
Now i just need to find a sick set of wheels that i want, then hunt down a set to buy. Deffinitly want something nobody has done :]
