Well Well bended 2 rims in the only pothole in my town time for new rims . rims can be fixed at about $250 each plus 3 tires (1 for rear and 2 in front since the wear has to be the same) so what do you guys thing about these 3 choices I'm considering..maybe in 20s
HARTGE CLASSIC2


OR
RADENERGIE 05

OR (not in chrome)
RADENERGIE 10

OR
IFORGED PS Daytona [Titanium]




does anyone have the weights? and can recomend any particular store for prices?

Tough choice...you definitely have good taste in rims Did you bend your rims on purpose?

Of course not, can't risk damaging the suspension aswell. You know for everyone, pay attention on the road and stop multitasking as i was doing like 3 things at the same time that whne i looked it was too late, swerved to one side and got my 2 right rims into the pothole (OUCH)..so trying to fill a claim with the city and maybe new shoes come my way

ps: I have been using the stock 18inch run flats and the veridic again is that THEY SUCK!!, really SUCK! ride is rough, noisy and tend to slide a lot compared to my other tires. Last nite it was raining pretty hard here and the same highway which as nice bend,i normally take it at 80mph with no problem with the RFTs i felt very insecure and felt it was ready to loose control ...whatever,,need to get my rims back again

I'd go for the iForged Daytonas, but I'm not sure they build that model in 20".

You've got the right idea, though. Get 20" wheels.

That's the illusion with wheel centers that come up to the edge (wheels with no lip), they appear to be bigger wheels than an equal size wheel with a deep lip.

If you're not planning on going with a big brake kit up front, you can get a 2.5" lip. The rears will look sweet with a 4" lip.

NO, Im not going to put big brakes. i have always benn a fan of wheels with lip until the new generation BMWs, I think because they are rounder and larger in appearance the wheels with little lip or no lip look better.. My 19"hartge look the same if not samaller that a stock E60 18" sport package wheel as I noticed a few days back whil parked next to my car argeg descisions descisions..
Ifroged retail prices per wheel
Daytona 20x8.5 = $1129
20x10 = $1229 so $4716 just in wheels
Seneka 20x8.5 = $1057
20x10 = $1157 or $4428

I can not find prices for the classic 2s

I'd go with the hartage...the others are too americanish in both styling and chrome or finish-ups.
