Thus my ordeal. I do like my current wheels, I'd just like to change things up. And most of the concave less exspenive wheels are more for the import crowd (Mazda, evo, STI, Honda, Toyota......). And even then BMW's seem to have more options for their wheel specs. Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

Yea finding concave euro wheels is hard. Xxr 527 are probably your best bet.

But, I'd have to get them redrilled. I know one Audi that's had it done. But they'll still only be 18". That's why I'm hoping someone can find "reps" of XXR's or something very close in 19".

adapter spacers? you have the lug/stud so you wont really have to worry about a thick spacer. also you'd have studs so it makes it easier to put the wheels on lol

Yeah I've seen a few things about ADV.1 that make me seriously question their quality, not to mention the price you're paying coupled with that.

Well Dave (McLarty, not Knighton), looks like Dave (Knighton, not McLarty) needs some wheels, and looks like our company has it's first customer. LOL

I believe that Junkie is telling his buddy Dave McLarty that you, (Dave Knighton), needs wheels and that they should build them for you. I say take the plunge (to all of you). Then make me a nice 17" set up for my S.

HAve you found other options? What makes you want the 19"?

LOL. Last year, chickenwafer and I talked about getting a 5-axis CNC machine and starting a company cutting wheels and other things, including one-off parts that people need for their cars. But it might be several years down the road since 5-axis CNC machines are so expensive lol. This all started when I was looking for a company to make custom faces for me.
