These almost kind of remind me of your old kicks ... on the original blackura .. but these are better IMO... thinner spokes. You could do a 5mm spacer in the front to make it more flush to the fender since you desire the 9.5's but wanna keep these, that's always an option.
You have any low lying rear quarter panel shots to illustrate how flush these wheels are in the back?

Consider a 5mm spacer in front. If you do any kind of spirited driving, your caliper can slightly expand with heat, and with the insanely low clearance you have presently, that could spell disaster for you. I would never be comfortable driving with that little caliper clearance...

i wonder if u can powdercoat stoptech's/rotora's
I'm a tad bit surprised about not being able to powercoat the OEM Brembo BBK's allon.. I've seen some guys with the e92's powercoat their 6-piston BBK's.. I will try to find some pics to show you what i am talking about..

Full of water...
not a huge chrome or WDP fan, but those rims look really hot 
i like that simple 5-spoke look, and that slight concavedness(i know its not a word) really sets them off. nice choice!!
and the red calipers would really make the brembos pop if you can pull it off...

Blackura you car looked hot yesterday at the meet. And as stated before the pics don't do it justice you guys really need to see them in person. I was gonna pick your brain a bit Blackura but I saw everyone was already doing it. Maybe at the next meet.

Back in NY bro..
I see you finally got those enkeis you were talking about on.. I love the finish and the concavity, especially in the rear..
but you could have done better on fitment..
Dude the Clevelander was closed my entire break.. (mar 16-23) and they're re-opening the 25th, that was so gay
but madonnas was good

my boy is heading down for WMC tomorrow.. hes doing all the promoting and in charge of the DJ's at the gansevoort.. id be down there too if work wasnt busting my ass these days
the fitment choices were limited man... i tried
19 x 8.5" Wheel, comes in +22 or +42
19 x 9.0" Wheel only comes in +18
19 x 9.5" Wheel, comes in +22 or +42
19 x 8.5" Wheel comes in +35, but ONLY 5x120 fitment.... GAY
everybodys telling me to drop a spacer in the front.... i really dont wanna do that, but i am second guessing one thing... im gonna test the rears on the front, maybe 9.5" all around

the finish is amazing man.... i said bye-bye to chrome wheels a long time ago, because they're heavy and too "blingy" but these things rock.... and they weigh NOTHING... you'd swear they were made of plastic if you lifted one without a tire

concavity on a high offset = no bbk clearance
I don't understand why you don't want to run spacers... they are not the end of the world... if you want a spacer that will not make your wheel vibrate and will be made to order go to wheeladapter.com
a 7mm spacer would make your fronts money, you will need to get extended wheel studs that are 5mm to 10mm longer than oem
ps. your rear is hot, but it could use a 5mm spacer too (roll them fenders)

^ old wheels were just toooooo damn heavy. 32lbs F, 34lbs R..... with tires they weighed 62lbs F, 64lbs R
i didnt weigh these with the tires on, but i would imagine somewhere in the mid-high 40lbs area.... everything about the wheels is sweet in terms of performance, handling, ride quality and suspension feedback....
my only complaint, they are a bit TOO shiney.... maybe a thin gunmetal powder coat over the chrome would make for an interesting finish

ya know, the old wheels were bad ass, regardless of the weight... but im pretty sure i told you, and other peeps on here...
the lips were two different finishes!! the front were polished, and the rear was machined... it drove me CRAZYYYYYY.. and they were 2 piece welded, so i couldnt take them apart and refinish the lips....
