In my opinion, Volk rims are pretty hot. As long as the rims go with the car and the theme your going for, then go for it. Many car automakers ask Rays Racing Volk company to make rimes for them, since Volks are light weight, high performance, and heavy duty wheels. There is a reason why many high performance track racing cars use Volk, when pushing high hp, you need reliable wheels to be able to take the abuse... When I pre-ordered my 535xi 2 month ago now, I purchased Volk 20in TE37 rims before the car came in (got a good deal), but due to my car being an xi, they don't fit with the offset that I have 43 (yea I know I didnt do my homework, you live and learn). They looked great on the car, I got a lot of 
and heads turning. But they stick out of the fender to much and had to be taken off. If I knew I would be having this problem, I would of never got the xi.

Right on, I'm not crazy about the first set but the second is almost identical to the csl/breyton race gts and bbs rs-gt's which seem to be pretty popular with our crowd. Thats why im surprised I havn't seen them on here yet.. but its true volk does seem to be more popular with the asian import crowd. Still, personally I love the SF-Winning wheels. In gun metal they would be bellissima imo lol
lolexactly what i was thinking. SF-Winning design is very popular with what other bmw owners have, like bbs and others. i bet you the if they have sizes for our bmw that will fill the entire fender well, widest tire you can fit. this wheels will be on bmw's.

I am using my BBS LM's from my 06 M3 on my 545i. To do this properly I needed 15MM spacers and longer bolts for the front and special spacers for the rear that upsize the center bore, again with longer bolts. Took me a while, and some help to figure all this out but I love the wheels and paid what I consider serious money for them.
