Default Need your opinion on these wheels

Goal: As close to stock as possible on 19" lowered with NF210. I saw the wheels below from one of the vendors, and need your input. Will the offset +44 cause any issue? I think the hub bore size on these wheels are 73.1mm, can I make them work on 07 GS305 AWD (60.1 mm)? Will they look good on 3GS? Thanks.

I think Vossen offers wheels in 19" sizes now. That would be my suggestion for you.

Yes, I've contacted Mike@Vossen and thinking about CV1, but not too sure how 19" would look. Any suggestion?

Thanks for the info. I will search around. Since this is my daily car with 2 small kids (4&6) at the back, 19 is as far as I can go.

Wheel are a choice of expression and if you are trying to go the flush route you should be very close.

my wheels are the same diameter and width with the same size tires. my offset is a tiny bit more aggressive at +38 and have no issues whatsoever. maybe you can find hub adapters to correct the bore size.

as for the design of the rims, i don't think they're terrible but i agree that it may not look good on our cars. BUT if you like them then that's all that matters.
