Remember, the 23.5 mm and 22mm offsets are for the pure/passion/cabrio OEM 4.5J-15 and 5.5J-15 rims respectively. As the tire sizes and rim widths increase for the Euro pulse and Brabus, the OEM offsets change (increase).

Yes, has been considered. With the stock offset as you stated, the others change do to width, but will fit just like they do on the euros.

so, the wheels on the picture are 7.5front and 9.5rear. I'll do the math using 8.5rear though. tirerack will deliver a set of 2 195/40R17 and 2 215/35R17 for about 431$. the rimms are 1199euro plus 220euro shipping. we do not pay the mehrwerttax though. so deduct 20% out of 1199 = approx 960euros = approx 1500$ + approx 330$shipping + approx 430 tires = 2260$. good deal considering 3500$ for speedys or other numbers i've been hearing, like 2900$.

PS: and who knows. We might be able to get together and work out a group price/deal depending on feedback.

I've alrready ordered the same wheels from Tunner shop in Las Vegas. For $1322 including shipping. The price is going up every day. Due to shipping costs and dollar. But should still be alot cheaper than that. They are very helpfull, also.
