What rims are these?

What rims are these? I'm guessing they're 19s. What's the offset and wheel size?

Thanks in advance.

Haha. I knew I saw that pic in a sig somewhere. My apologies for using your pic without permission, BlackC230Coupe. Love those rims. What's the offset you're using? Any rubbing issues?

haha, no problem, i don't care, u can post it anywhere u would like.

To be honest, i somehow forgot the exact offsets i used on the car, i think it was something like 32 front and 37 rear. I may be a off by 1 or 2mm.

I have some rubbing in the rear, its nothing serious, it rubs on bumps and turns, doesnt do any damage to anything. One of these days i will make some time and cut out some of the carpet and some sort of clip that connects the rear bumper to the car to stop the rubbing.

Here is another pic during the day.

Oh..I'm absolutely sure you can beat their price, but unfortunately I'm in Malaysia, which means I'll have to pay import taxes on anything I bring into the country. And then there's custom clearance, etc which can be a pain in the ***

At the end of the day, it's a lot less complicated to buy from here. That is if they have it at all.
