The car is a 2010 E92 xdrive, a
nd I'm currently running a staggered setup. Front is 235/35/19, rear is 265/30/19, wheels are Avant Garde M359, 9x19 et35 front and 10x19 et38 rear. I like the look of the wheels, but I'm considering replacing them.
My issue is the lip of the rim, which extends beyond the sidewall of the tire. I've come into contact with a curb, as has my wife when she's driven the car. My preference would be that the curb come into contact with the tire vs the aluminum of the wheel. Each time the aluminum lip kisses the curb a bit more of the matte black finish is ground off.
So I'm looking for input on a set of wheels with the above specs, but with a low(er) profile rim lip, preferably a lip which sits flush on the sidewall/bead. While both front and rear extend beyond the sidewall, the rear is a bit more pronounced.
Also, I'm considering a chrome 5 spoke vs the matte black & patterned M359.
Pics attached for visual reference / explanation.
Thanks for your input.
