Opinions needed on wheels

[New2Import]

First off wanted to say hi to all. Just purchased a 06 M45 for the wife with 26K on it. This is our first import so Ill probably be posted here alot for info when it comes to modding, performance upgrades and places to purchase those items. But the first mod on every car I get is the stance and wheels.

Here is the car and the wheels. They will be staggered 20x8.5s and 20x10s for the rear.



I found these and need some opinions and dont hesitate to tell the truth. These should all run around $2200 with tires.

in my opinion i would go with the lexani's lss 5.get them in staggered thats the way to go. thats what i'm planning to put, but in 22's for my m35x.they have them on ebay its much cheaper then superbuytires

blkm35xw/bourbon int.journey ,technology pkg,full areo kit 4300k in the fogs.led white in reverse,parking lights and license.full catback megan quad tip exhaust.38% carbon tint.soon 22's with yellow brembo brake covers.end of story

Do they have the 20s on ebay with tires? Superbuy has them with tires from $2100-$2400 depending on what tires. BTW Im leaning toward #2 then #3

I like 1,2, & 4 the best of the five.More spokes look a lot better on our cars. You should have made this a poll to get better opinion results.

Check out Ace Executive wheels. A forum member put them on and they looked great! None of those wheels you posted had me drooling, however I certainly didn't find any to be ugly either.

[New2Import]

I have to say I like the Ace wheels. Ill add those to the list. Thanks. So Im liking #1 and the Ace wheels now. Ive added them to the mix now. If I dont get any more opinions Ill start a poll thread.

Check out the wheels made by Vossen, they make very good looking wheels that would fit nice on your new M.

[ATSELLAB]

I would do a Vossen wheel with a fuller face. Do something original, nothing worse than stopping at a light, looking over and seeing your same rims on a Dodge Neon!!

[striz923]

I like 1B. Also, are you going to be selling your old rims and tires?

[New2Import]

Thanks for the input guys. Ill choose over the weekend I want to order them by next friday. Yes if anyone interested in the stockers they will be for sale with brand new tires that where installed at the dealer.

[lawman12]

What about other wheel brands...

WorkIforgedAuto-CoutureWeds

these are some good quality wheels that would look sweet on the M...

Save your money. The way the economy is going you'll need it for food before to long goes by!

But, I like the second in line best.

Thay are for sale. I have a few interested but nothing solid. Email me and Ill give you a price. I have to wait to get my wheels since it was screwed up the first time and then they are going to powder coat to match the car. So probably looking at a week and a half before they are ready to ship.

[g352envy]

[New2Import]

Any day now. Thats the deal on multi piece 4-8 weeks.

Little late since you ordered already, here's my car with one of them you listed. 8.5 all around, not staggered, but I only paid 2000 total, w/tires mounted balance tax etc.. As its a lease I wasn't spending a fortune on wheels and tires.Obviously the AC and Works are a jump in quality, but also in price, good luck tho!

Not that much. I only paid $2900 shipped for staggered. Depends on vendors you buy from.

[mikeym45x]

If thats with tires it is a great price. But keep in mind, mine were from a local guy, he had them in stock and was willing to try the 255 width tires I'm running without holding me to it if they didn't work. *Also if I mail ordered I would have had to pay someone to transfer the TPMS to the new rims and then mount and balance my old wheels which ill use for the winter, all in all since I'm not running staggered cuz of the awd and beeing the offsets wound up nearly perfect for the car I couldn't justify the extra grand. Post up some pics when you get them tho, those Modulars are nice wheels!
