I'm thinking about putting 2005 Bentley GT 19" wheels on my VW Phaeton. What do you think of the looks of this photoshop picture? Good, Not so good, Poser?

Pass.

I looked up some OZs for you, and the following will fit a Phaeton (assuming yours is a V8 if it makes a difference).

*Edit: I like BBS wheels too. Go here and put in your Phaeton to see the wheel options.

These wheels from B&B are perfect for the Phaeton, IMHO.

They are nice indeed. Wonder if they are strong? A limited number of wheels are capable of handling the torque and weight of the V8 and W12 Phaetons. I feel pretty confident about the Bentley wheels because that car weighs almost as much as the Phaeton and, of course, it is equipped with a twin turbocharged W12 engine.:love:
