The BBS FI-Rs are currently number 1 on my list, their offset is not as aggressive: 19x9.5 ET22 and 19x10.5 ET35 which if my math is accurate translates to the outer wall of the wheel extending 4mm and 5mm less than your setup, front and rear respectively. The weight savings are fantastic though, we are talking about 25lbs of unspring weight in comparison to the stock 19 437s.

I am looking at the new HRE R101Ls but their offset is set as well:
19x9.5 ET 22 and 19x11 ET43. Not sure how I feel about the 19x11 ET43.

And then there is always the HRE R101 where you can pick your own offset but those are not as light as the BBS FI-Rs.

Btw, are you lowered? I can't tell by looking at the picture.

I am not lowered and am on Non-EDC shocks and springs. The best tire setup in my opinion is 275/30/19 and 305/30/19. I would do Michelin Super Sports no doubt next time.

Check out the HRE and BBS thread I'm sure they would be able to help you out!
