DO NOT GET SEVAS WHEELS (unless you dont carry passengers in your car and you have a death wish)
go to bimmerfest and search sevas wheels

dont worry guys I have ruled out the Sevas Wheels. I am between iforged, Vellano, VIP, or the Enkruez H8R. I got a call from Enkruez and he gave me a good price on the H8R's they are almost 2g's less than 360 Forged. I am getting a qoute on the iForge. So we will see. My wheel guy I used to deal with sells Vellano. I wish Sam would sell them to me but I understand why he does not. The goal here is to have some hot wheels that are not going to break the bank.

You guys running 22's what offsets are on your wheels? I am looking at 9.5 up front and 11 in the rear for widths. I hope that is not to aggressive. I dont want to roll my fenders and I am gonna lower with H&R's until economy pics up and I can justify 2k for the KW's. what size tires do yo recommend?

Here are some sizes I have installed on these cars before.

255-30-22 and 295-25-22
265-30-22 and 295-25-22
265-30-22 and 305-25-22

I personally like the 255 and 295 setup the best.
If you have the right offsets, you will not need to roll the fenders or trim plastics.
The sidewall on the 255 and the 295 look like they are the same thickness.
The sidewall on the 265 looks like it is a tad thicker than the 295.
The 305 rear requires rolling or shaving the fenders.

I hate the 265 upfront tire looks too fat compared to the rears..

22x9.5 F on 255/30/22
22x11 R on 295/25/22

Best bet like Sam said. You dont need to worry about offsets. When ordering the wheels tell them its going on a 750li and you want 22x9.5/22x11. They figure out offsets etc themselves

Thank you sir. Man every time I look at your sig it makes me wish the 650 was practical for me to have. I love that car.

Pay a little more for the Vellano and know that you have a great company that will back you up. The Vellano's should be less than the 360Forged.
I went to my local guy to see about the Vellano's. Since they carry them. I hated to even have to go to them but I figured I best check first. Well they are just as expensive as the 360 Forged I got quoted. The Forgiano's are crazy expensive. They were $8500 w/tires before tax. Ouch!! I either need to find another source for the Vellano's or get the EnKreuz or iForged. I know 3 piece wheels are pricey I had them on my 5 but damn!!!!!

Any other good sources for the Vellano's? What tires you guys reccommend? I have always run the Nitto 555's I really like them but should I be looking at something different?
