go with for forgestar F14s those are nice. As I have been learning, you can't go wrong with forged wheels, and these ones are relatively cheap compared to others. Trinity and Michael from acute are good vendors for these, or try modbargains.

Miros have been around a while, but when tastefully done, it looks awesome like this!

My Ride: '86 Daytona Violet E30 2.7L B3 Alpina Spec...
'04 Sapphire Black E60 530i...full body kit on 20" Vertini Hennessey staggered
...on the lookout for E39 M5 or one day afford an E60 Big Daddy.
Not sure if $$'s are a factor here but AGETRO M140, F140 and F10 are all hot wheels...
i too have been having this trouble over the past few months with my wifes's car. She has 20" Vertini's ATM and they are as smooth as the 45 Series 17s i have on my E30. Common misconception on this topic is that 20s ride too hard...far from it and everyone on here that has em, has also said the same.
Wheel searching is one of the most painstaking exercises and it has taken me hours and hours a night searching the web for a different look (Syd style is all the same now and i understand your point of just looking like stock OEMs when the styles are all similar. With SO many wheels to choose from, it possibly makes for a lack of originality based on fear of getting it wrong
It has been a long haul and only now i have a wheel that has arrived for a test fit. They called me yesterday
BTW - ALL the cars pictured here do look awesome
