Not sure if it will fit if you lower the car. 35mm offsets might rub if you drop it. The ideal offset would be between 40-45 mm.

Good luck...if you do install them, post some pics too...I like the Falken Koblenz style.

Personally, I would rather have a simple 5 spoke rather than a multi-spoke wheel.
(i.e. the Maido ST5). I like OZ because they have a lot of lightweight rims, but just don't like the styling as much.

By the way, cvajs:
Have you installed your OZ's yet? Any pics?

I'm thinking of getting the Falken koblenz 19" with the dark holes, they look a lot better, especially on my Anthracite (or NBP).

I just hope it will clear the Brembos...

http://www.edgeracing.com has good prices.

Damn! I like the one on the right. They would look good in a 19 on a SSM 6 speed TL.

it looks mean, doesn't it?
the little screws help.
I like wheels that make the car look stronger not wimpy...
