Okay so I'm getting a decent tax return this year (sad I haven't gotten it yet IMO but whatever) and thus I'll probably be getting my wheels for my car a little sooner than expected. I'm definately going with black wheels but I haven't quite decided on which ones I like. I would prefer to not spend more than $3k for my wheels/tires if I can avoid it. From what I can tell so far 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the back is the way to go. I am open to your suggestions from there though.

my wheels are for sale and fall under the 20x9 and 20x10 staggered. I was planning to sell wheels but can put some new tires on them as well for more.

if you want forged rims it's going to be tough keeping it in the $3000 tire/rim range. i have some sevas rims in stock http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=57435

I'm also having a hard time deciding what to put on my car. I know what size (F:20x9 & R:20x10) and color (black face w/ chrome lip). I'm looking at a couple of wheels but still pricing them out.

As long as you get Spinners, that's all that matters.
Bwahaha...
BTT: Good luck with your possible purchase, seems you've got some pretty nice choices from the members here.

Thus far I really like the iForged Swifts from the variety I've seen. I haven't been able to find a price for them online however. Just about every website I find seems to want me to contact them for pricing or fill out an order form. I'm guessing they are a bit more than I was hoping to spend but if it's close I may go with them anyway. Another option I found via the links and my own searching is the Breyton GTS's. I typically prefer a black wheel to have a chrome lip but these look like awesome wheels and I am really considering them. I have found them so far decently priced and well within my price range. The other wheel I've found in my price range and like reasonable well is the MRR GT-1. I'm going to keep browsing around but I've narrowed it down to those thus far.
