Vertini Riviera 19″ Staggered Wheels on 2008 BMW 535i

Here we have a 2008 BMW 535i that came to us wanting some new shoes. The owner decided on the classy and sporty Vertini Riviera in the Machined Black finish. All the 19″ and up Vertini Wheels come with the Chrome Stainless Lip which is as close to a real chrome finish that you can get without the added cost of a chrome wheel. Machined Black can look good on just about any color car but they really look sharp on the shade of blue this 535i is. As for the wheel & tire specs we went with 19×8.5 +15mm and 19×9.5 +22mm which we wrapped in 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear Falken FK452 tires. Also note the BMW centercaps which are included.

20″ MRR HR2 Staggered Wheels on IS250

I know, I know…..another IS250 with MRR HR2 wheels. Well at least this one is slightly different due to the owner wanting 20′s instead of 19′s. So for this car we went with 20×8.5 +35 and 20×9.5 +40 in the Silver/Polished finish. For tires we went with 235/30/20 front and 255/30/20 rear Falken FK452. The only drawback to those considering running 20′s is that you have to run a 30 series tire which is a really small sidewall and with stock suspension it makes it seem like there is a lot more wheel gap. To remedy this, we installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs. As you can see this helps close the gap and give the car a more proper look. The ride is a little stiffer than stock due to the shorter sidewall and springs but still very comfortable for your every day commute.

19″ MRR HR2 Staggered Wheels on 2009 Matador Red IS250

Here we have a brand new off the dealer lot 2009 IS250 RWD in Matador Red. This car turned out great and it was nice to see a pretty rare color IS250 come in for some new wheels and suspension. We went with the tried and true set up of staggered 19×8.5 +35 and 19×9.5 +45 MRR HR2 in Silver/Polish finish. For tires we chose the ever popular Falken FK452 in sizes 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. We also installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs which gives the IS a nice & suttle 1.4 inch drop up front and 1 inch drop in back. This is a perfect combo for the IS in my opinion. The lowered stance sets the car off with the addition of the new 19″ rims and the ride quality is just like stock. The HR2 is becoming one of my favorite wheels that we’ve installed on the IS.
