Check the Wheels and Tires section. You should find lots of different wheels. But for starters, what kind of rims do u like? Concave rims or rims w/ a Big Lip? 18 or 19"? Do you like 5,6,7 spoke wheels or mesh wheels? And of course, what is your budget for rims and tires?

Best thread ever (for this question)

Also go to tirerack.com to the upgrade garage.

And like the above said, the wheels and tires forum.

I have BBS RG-R on order.

Exactly what I would choose. We have similar tastes.

For a lower budget, if u want to stay w/ 18's, i'd just get the 162. See if you like M5 reps. For a little less than CH's, you can get BBS CK's. They are also very nice. For a high budget, LM's, DPE, Iforged, HRE (if u r a true baller).

[cracing]

Yeah, you should choose BBS, one thumb up.

[Caster]

DPE R06, DPE R07, DPE LS5, Maya RT5, BBS CH

:-D

[Master Deep]

My favorites are prolly the DPE R07 VS.

[ScBlacksunshine]

BBS LMs

[FirstClass]

I don't know why everyone loves BBS so much. Sure they look great on an Evo or a Supra, but they don't compliment the BMW look well imo. RAC Monolites look near stock and are crazy light as well. (I don't know RAC vs. BBS weight but both are light and probably pretty close)

Take a look at these pictures. Similar spoke configuration but totally different look.
RAC (OEM look)

BBS (Tuner look imo)

Honestly I'm not a fan of the first rim and the second one is the E46 330i rim and it's 17". That's prolly too small. If you want 17", get the Style 161 rims (E90 325i Sports Pack rims).

What' your budget for wheels and tires?

I'm guessing you want rims with a lip based on the pics u posted?

Actually I have not really thought about the budget yet. Around 1500 is acceptable for me, but i doubt if I could get a set of 18" deep dish style rim with that money. the Style 161 and E90 325i sports pack rim is pretty similar, and they are not the style i would go for , thats why I picked the original 16" wheels in the beginning.

[jerrygarcia]

I think the BBS Lm is the most classy rim you can buy and still have the tuned look. HRE c20's do it pretty well too, nothing like the hre center cap...

[Master Deep]

$1500 for rims or rims and tires?

Have a look at ASA AR1's (Lip). Tirerack has them.

CSL Reps (I got quoted $1900 shipped for 19" staggered with really nice tires) 18's will be a lot less and closer to your budget. These rims have a concave look.

M5 Reps are also cheap but have the concave look.

Look at those and some other Velocity Motoring and Miro wheels here:

thanks, man. you have been helping a lot since day one. I appreciate it.
yeah, I am kinda lookin for a package (rim & tires). I dont know as much as you do, so I guess you can help me find the ones are compatible with my ride. I am not really a fan of those flame style rim, such as Flame
Bright Silver Paint (the first one in the below link)
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/breyton/breyton.jsp
Vision Bright Silver Paint looks stylish, the last two set i found in ebay are more like my style, a bit simple with a concave look.

[jerrygarcia]

csl's are always good, i think they look great. this site has wheel and tire packages, as low as 1600 for csl replicas with General UHP tires, i hear those are really good for the price.

Breyton Spirits are really nice. Visions are pretty good but I think they are really heavy.
