Wanting to spend only $3k on a 20' setup with big lip + tires is really really pushing. Even used you'll have trouble unless you find a shotty brand or replicas.

Tires alone on 20' rims should be $1100+. Now make that budget 4k or even 5k, now you're talking!

I think the only brand new 20's, with a big rear lip, with tires, under 3K are the MRR GT1s like what I have. Other than that, I don't think you're going to find any.

Congrats on your purchase Anthony! I almost bought a 530i from Rallye that sounds like the one you're about to pick up. It's going to look sick with 20s. Break it in soon and bring it to the next local meet.

get forged wheels if you want 20s, there are plenty of brands. but the good ones start about 3k for 4 wheels
