Hey everyone,

I was thinking about getting some new shoes for my 535 but I have no idea where to begin. I've seen some that looked good and were inexpensive, but have poor craftsmanship and no reputation. I got about $1400, give or take a buck, and a space grey metallic looking for some gunmetal 19's. I don't really want OEM wheels because I want my ride to look a little more unique. Throw me some ideas with your staggered dimensions too. I can't afford a iforged set, so please try to stay within my budget. Used or new, doesn't really matter.


Thanks

Hi.

My setup may not be just what you're looking for, and it's not staggered. It's available in staggered also though.

Rondell (German manufacturer) type 0049 8,5x19 ET14. Tires are 245/35R19.

This could be a long thread. It's basically an open invitation for members to post pics of their wheels.

This should be fun.

No pics from me because I have OEM wheels -- 172s.

VMR VB3 Gunmetal Finish Staggered. They are within your budget even with tires. A few vendors are selling them here. Do a search in classified. Good luck!

for under 2k you are looking at cast wheels only which the majority of really sexy looking wheels are forged so vmr/miro/forgestar are really some of your only choices, Bretyon has some wheels too

i think these two guys offered you the best options. check out frank's car (mrfva) - he has the first option in black 19's and they are hot. here is the link here!

i believe the vmrs were just installed by Phi/akalius. his ride is also looking amazing. here is his link here!
member brabusw209amg also just ordered these.

You also said you wanted to be unique so maybe these options arent the best for you. Maybe get the beyern baroque's before anyone else does


Hope this helps. Miro also offers some other wheels in your price range. check the vendor classifieds

Best bang for that pricing will be a set of VMRs.

Velocity Motoring 18" CSL Wheels

Velocity Motoring 19" CSL Wheels


Velocity Motoring 19" V170 Wheel Set

Velocity Motoring 18" V710 Wheel Set


Velocity Motoring V715 Wheel Set


Velocity Motoring V713 Wheel Set


Velocity Motoring V714 Wheel Set


Velocity Motoring V708 Wheel Set


Another option are the Miro M6 Style Wheels:

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I've definitely narrowed it down to VMR. But I could use a little help trying to decide between the V710, V715, and the V708. They'll all be in a hyperblack or gunmetal finish. Throw in your opinions. Thanks
