I am new to 5 Series Forums (well never posted before) and I was looking to buy wheels without breaking my bank this summer. I found these on Umnitza's website...

Umnitza's Custom uForged Wheels

I like the UForged U20 mesh wheels (looks sort of like Work Rezax II wheels but with thicker spokes) but I want the spokes to be thinner. I contacted Umnitza and they said it can be done and in any customization I want. It seems like a really good deal, does anyone have uForged wheels or heard of them? I know a lot of members buy other products from Umnitza.

Here are the Wheels I'm interested in...



But I want the wheels mesh spokes to look more like the Work Rezax II's in this pic...



And I'm thinking of customizing them to look like these (going on a black e60)...





Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

For that price range I would go with DPE wheels. PM acuteperformance or myself if you're interested (I think you need 5 posts to PM though).

+1 for Acuteperformance. His deals on DPE is just incredible. I would advise anyone to check with him first!

Thanks for looking at our wheels.

We have a few of them sold, but we did a very good deal with a member on this forum that will be showcasing his wheels in a few weeks.

We'll post photos of his wheels shortly. We can custom design any wheel you want in any style or size.

Umnitza, so can you customize the wheel to look exactly like another brands wheel from a picture? I really like DPE SP20 wheels but I just can't afford the price I was quoted from AcutePerformance the other day ($4200 just for wheels). Here is a picture below of the wheel I like. I know you guys sell uForged U20 wheels which are similar but the DPE SP20's look better in my opinion.



Also, thank you guys for recommending DPE wheels to me but they are just way out of my price range. My wife would kill me if I bought something like this.

The DPE SP20 wheels are super nice but they are also a brand new model so will probably cost a bit more than the other model lines DPE has. It looks like the uForged wheels are a pretty darn good deal for being 3 piece forged and for being able to customize everything.

As for the wife, this is why you need a separate mod fund .

Just got a used 2007 BMW 525I Sport Sedan RWD Fully Loaded, and looking to buy rims in the future (Maybe May or June) so I was looking around for prices. DPEs are nice but can't afford them unfortunately.
