After about 2 1/2 months crevier will replace all 4 wheels. to amke a long story short in a period of 1 month dealer curbed 3 wheels ( 2 weeks old ). Crevier attempted to repair but just got worse. The company maido will not be making these wheels anymore and no one has a set. i need some help on picking out a new set of 20 inch wheels. The only thing is that they have to ahve a huge lip on it. Below are the wheels i currently have.

Why do you want such a big lip? For the easthetics?

I always like BBS wheels.. check out their site!

It is the area between the edge of the rim and the base of the spoke!

That's a real shame. Those are some beautiful wheels you got there. I searched long and hard for some wheels I'd be prepared to put on my 'soon to arrive' E60, but nothing seemed satisfactory.

Those wheels you've got are fantastic!! Truly a shame.

Got this pic off e46fanatics.com. I'm thinking about getting them in black or brushed aluminum. It doesn't have the biggest lip, but enough for me. If your interested in a fat lip, say 4" plus, I'd get some Iforged or HREs. Good Luck.

BTW, are your Maido wheels the same as Maya ST5s? If so, just get those.

I don't have a recomendation on an exact rim, but I would recoment trying HW Motorsports off the 22 and Harbor. Talk to Lary. I was extreemely impressed with his knowledge and his pricing was great. HW Motorsports has a huge selection or rims.

I an not sure the phone number, but I can get it if you want.
