I am not. I'm running 235/35/19's. The F1's have a bit more tread width to them...
and have a much straighter sidewall then my other 235/35/19's. But depending on tire choice, 245 may be a better choice, although there might be a slight error in your speedo.

Re: All your choices are very hot.
Thanks. I see you went with the RS4 reps. I like that too, but at least in a few pics the DTM looks a bit more aggressive. Agree?
btw - what is the advantage of 245 vs 235?

More aggressive? Depends on what you want.
Some might argue they are more aggressive, others would argue they are not as classy. I've heard both arguments. Obviously, I went with the RS4 rep, but the DTM is still a very nice looking wheel and has a lot in common with the RS4.
I went with the RS4's because I love the OEM look. The RS4 reps with the center-caps really do make the car look stock. Many people can't believe those rims would come stock on the car (and they are right) but they assume so because of the center-cap. I'm not a huge fan of the exposed lugs.

Hehehe...well, that was not my intention.
But you can't go wrong, both are great lookin' wheels and a great price too.
Rumor has it that Achtuning was going to release their Forged RS4 reps in 19" soon too. But who knows when they'll release it or if it's even coming to the states.
I bought the rims with tires. They came with Falkens from Achtuning. The Falkens are a GREAT all-season tire. However, I'd recommend upgrading to a max summer tire for this setup. I went with F1's and are SUPER happy with them. Amazing tires!! But any max performance tire will work wonders on this rim: F1's, PS2, PS1's, S-03s. You'll love it!
I have more pics available of the RS4's.

Lowered a little
So I did lower my car quite a bit, but now I had to raise it since I was too low. I was still scrapping going around corners in the wheel well. Now it is 3/8 higher and it is great and still looks sweet.
