how about NEEZ!
I was eyeing the Neez QD7 wheels for a while but they're way too pricy; around $8K a set now I believe. Also, if the claimed weights on these 360 Forged wheels are true, they would be lighter than the QD7s which are around 25-26lbs. If I got the race prep option for the 360 Forged wheels, it looks like they would only weight around 20lbs give or take a lb.

Hey T, I think the spokes are too big for the M5. It would look nice for SUVs.
I'd probably go with their split seven design, sexier...
As of the CF version, definitely looks cool, but not worth the money I think...

I actually like the bigger spokes cause it looks tougher, more commanding.

These are my favorite 360 forged wheels. Very similar to your current Rad design. Love the brushed aluminum. Impressive how light they are for being 20 inch wheels, fronts ~20lbs rears ~22lbs.

They look similar to the HRE 993R.

I looked at these but didn't like how the spokes are raised from the lip and not flat.

I'm also very impressed with the weights claimed by 360 Forged on their wheels. They're already ridiculously light and you can add a race prep option which would reduce the weights by another 4 lbs per wheel!!!
