It does look good. What about the weight? Are they more or less than your stockers? So does this mean any wheels that would fit an M5 will fit our cars? There are some pretty nice Hamann wheels out there.

Slightly more than the stock, but you still spin the hell out of them
so I'm like I'm still putting out the horses to the wheel. I would prefer lighter wheels, but it really doesn't matter to me I guess, cuz i put my stocks on for the track and for autocross and speedtrials.

Did the rims have to get forced on at all? F-bodies have a 5 lug on a 4.75" bolt circle (120.6mm), while the bimmers have a 5 on 120mm bolt circle (just a touch smaller). This would put a little load on the studs, (about .010 bending...). So far so good?

.6 is the difference I knew of. No bending from what I can see. The wheels slid on perfect. Not forcing what so ever. Another z had the same exact wheels on his car right around the shop I got my wheels from.

18x9.5

I found some 18x9.5 that fit perfectly. I will post up pics next week.

BMW's use BBS wheels on most of their cars, so finding BMW wheels to fit your f-body would be as simple as looking at a BBS catalog.
