Originally I wanted to go with Vossen CV5 Matte, but i hear that their heavy. I was planning to call the company and see if they come in 19s, on the Website, they're 20s.

I'm looking for a great 5 star rim to show off the stop tech BBK.

Unless you go with some Volk GTS, most cast wheels are going to be fairly heavy.
I'd stay away from 20s all together, no need for the extra weight.

Those are nice, I want to keep the $ under vossens price range.

Then you'll have to sacrifice quality and weight to keep it in your budget.
A set of the stock sport wheels or IPLs look good on sedans, plus they'll be lighter than the Vossens. I'd look into some Enkei wheels, quality product and a lot of different styles. I've been really digging the GTC01s lately...too bad they don't make them wide enough.

I have the Vossen CVT in 19". If you buy a deep-lip Vossen rim in 19" diameter, be sure to consult with the retailer that you have a BBK. The 19" Vossens clear the BBK, but only if they use HawksHead TPMS adapters in the front, so the valve stem doesn't connect with the side of the caliper:

Also, I'm using a 3mm wheel spacer, otherwise there's only 2mm of clearance from the spokes to the face of the caliper.

IPL rims on a lowered sedan looks so sexy. I want those rims but they're so hard to find. I looked at some Enkei but nothing stood out to me. I saw TSW Bathurst that look great and they're lightweight.

Never thought about the IPL rims, that would be a good look, but wow on the price.

So the HawksHead TPMS is recommended if I get deed lips ?

I'll check out TSWs, and see whats there. ...

The appearance I'm looking would be similar to a vette.

I'm trying to get this all done before Spring ends. I don't have an actual value on my budget yet, just paid in full for my RHFC and hopefully install within 2weeks. Uncertain about CAI and definitely want swift springs with new rims.

Hhmmmmm may have to put this on my list Bathurst Gloss Gunmetal Rotary Forged

Yes, I am targeting the TSW Bathurst beacuse the look awesome and they're super lightweight. My car is black and I might just go silver colored rims because I see too much black on black around where I live. Discount tires quoted me $2, 200 for staggered 19s with continental DWS tires.

That sounds good. Any fear of these rims being too weak since there light weight? (My plan is to go with DWS, although just bought a pair for my stock 18s)

If you buy the wheels & tires as a package, and the retailer is on the ball with this issue, then it will be taken care up as part of the deal. Vossen is supplying these adapters to their retailers, and instructed them to ask about BBK when ordering a 19" deep-inner lip rim. The point being: 19" deep-lip Vossens will work with the Akebono BBK, but only if you have a shorty valve stem.
