I wanted extreme concave with no lip

BMW is pretty much the only 19x9 and 10 that meets that want.

The BMW wheels look like 20's to me, even though there obviously 19's. They don't look too bad, they could be worse but I just wouldn't buy those over other aftermarket wheels.

Well adding 40 lbs of reciprocating mass in the name of looking "cool" doesn't make sense to people that buy sports car because... well its a sports car.

It is a wannabe sports car. I think of my z as more of a spirited driving touring car. However, far from a sports car.

The wheels weigh about the same as stock from my lift test. No significant increase.
Want a sports car? Get a real one. Calling a z33 a sports car is like calling a 240 a sports car

I do a agree about wheel weights. Opinions are like *******s. Not everyone cares to have a wheel they can pick up with one finger. If that's what you want, cool but don't make a bug deal when someone else doesn't want it IMO. Freshlike, when u get the tires? I'm very curious to see this

They don't look like OEM wheels between the discrepancies in widths and what looks like different finish on his, unless he had them redone.

the reason his are 19x9/19x10 is because his are prob. real, 95% bmw rims on ebay are reps. and to make them marketable there standard fitment is 8.5/9.5 wide.

Without a doubt the silliest post in this thread. Look, enjoy your wheels all you want but quit making absurd claims that have no merit. The Z is a sportscar, period.
