Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend
V710 is aggressive enough to make 18" look good - but I'm biased The new V701 is pretty sick too Really depends on your budget as well |

It really comes down to the style that you're looking for. One of my own personal favorite 18" wheels is the Forgestar F14 Flow Form wheel which is not only going to look great, but it's also strong and lightweight! I'll shoot you over a PM with more details.

Best looking 18" wheel right now is the Advan RS, but from the list of wheels you put out there, it's not really in the budget. If you want to go with a CSL style wheel, VMR has a great line up of wheels, and we've got a decent amount in stock to help you get the set of wheels you want

At VMR Wheels, we offer a few different styles and finishes that look great in 18". All are offered in specific E9x fitments that will not require any modifications to the vehicle or any aftermarket hardware.

Did I hear someone say Advan RS? My car happens to be silver. My wheels are Dark Gun Metallic or as I like to call them - the color of brake dust. Yes, it's a beautiful thing when you can't tell the wheels are REALLY dirty! My 18" wheels are 8.5 fronts, 9.5 rears running 245/35 front and 265/35 rears. Average weight savings over the stock 162s is 11lbs per corner. I'm not running aggressive offsets, et38 front and wt 35 rears. You can see that I'm lowered quite a bit and have NO issues at all with fender rubbing. I'm going with 255/35 up front next time around.
Me at the track a few weeks ago.

The pics above of the Forgestar F14 in 18" is a lowered vehicle. I just sent you a PM of more pics of the same setup on an E90 with the sport suspension!
