I was thinking about getting some 20''s for my Silver 545i. What do you guys think of these wheels? Good in this finish (silver w/ chrome lip)- or should I get them polished, or make them black w/ chrome lip? These are iForged Retro's 20x9F & 20x10R w/ 3'' lip in the rear.
Thanks!

he wants 3200 and thats from ebay. They look nice but there priced at msrp. For ebay, it should be 50% off or something. So in my opinion, i give it 2 big :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
go to the store and buy something you might really really like for 3200

Looks like this finish is a good match for your color car. You may also want to check out Monet wheels (manufactured in Huntington Beach). They have something simular and word from my buddy at Wheelwarehouse is there coming out with them in 20"s this month.

If you click on the eBay link on that thread and scroll down, he had said that the Reserve as actually set at $3700.

yea i spoke to him directly, he wants alot for those plus i find the situation very fishy. dont know how there "NEW" when hes been advertising them for over 5 or 6 months now. It just sounds fishy, either way for the money i would buy new at the same price or even LESS.

He's had them for months now because he wants too much for the wheels. He said he special ordered those wheels and waited weeks for them, only to run into financial problems. According to him they are brand new in the box never mounted with no tires. I think you can negotiate with him for a lower price, but ulitimately it's up to you if you really want those wheels for that price. I know I'm like that sometimes when I see something I like and want right away.
I believe he is from San Diego so you can go check them out in person before buying them. It's only less than 100 miles from where you are. Keep us posted .
