My Ride: '07 530iSport PackageLuxury Packagemore to come
I went to the wheels shop the other day to order my new wheels and tires only to find out the ones I wanted were out of stock and wouldn't be available for at least two weeks. So, I had to rethink what I was going to do. Pick another wheel or wait. I decided to shop some more and contacted a guy I know that manages another wheel shop. It seems that everything I like is out of stock. He told me about something they have in stock that he recently installed on a 650 that he really liked.
I have found my new wheels, at least from looking at pics. I will be going to look at them next Wednesday to check them out in person and if I like them will ride them home. 20x9 fronts and 20x10.5 rear, supposed to be crazy offsets and very concave that put the wheel flush with the fenders.

My Ride: See my signature
I'll withhold passing judgment until I see pics of them on your ride. Wheels are like shoes. Or ties. If you dig them, that's all that matters.

Wow, I am surprised that the responses are so negative. Do they really look that bad?
My first choice was TSW Snettertons. Then I looked at MRR GT1 but after using the software at the wheel shop I thought the spokes looked too thin on them. I don't like for the rotors or calipers to show that much. I thought about the Miro 111 but it seems that everybody has that. Then after talking to a friend that runs another shop he told me about the HR6 and I liked the pictures I saw. Maybe I should just go back to the Snettertons and wait for them to be available.
Part of it is my budget too. I want to stay at about $2000 wheels, tires and all. I see lots of things I like that are 4k plus but that's not an option for me.

I agree with this. I think that a big portion of the forum don't like MY wheels, but I like them -- and that's what matters (though I am looking forward to a set that'll be coming back in stock next month, hehe).
I personally think the design looks fine. It's different, and at the end of the day, isn't that what modding is about? Making the car yours: based upon your preferences.
