Anyone know of any G8 owners running this wheel? There are only two 5x120 configurations, both of which are 19".

19x8.5 5x114.3/120 ET45 (25 lbs)
19x9.5 5x114.3/120 ET45 (26.2 lbs)

Seems like they'd clear with that offset, maybe with a 5mm+ spacer in front for an 8.5. They're lightweight, too, and Discount Tire Direct stocks 'em.

19x9.5: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?pc=56674

Several colors are available:

I run a semi-similar-looking wheel, the O.Z. Superturismo, and I think it looks awesome. I'll post a pic this evening if you're interested. They are light colored, though, but have a similar 15 spoke design.

I bet those Tenzos are gravity cast, though. My O.Z.s are low pressure cast which is one step above that, but far from the "best."

Definitely interested in seeing a photo. What size are you running, and what offset? I've always loved the Superturismo.

The size is just 18x8. Offset is 40mm, I believe. Got them used for a good price from a BMW forum. I'll see if I can get a picture at lunchtime today, else when I get home from work. I just got them put on recently with my new summer tires.

Sorry for the late response but I figured I'd wait until I got it detailed... not that you can tell with my awful camera phone in a non-sunlight shot...
