i cant decide on what type of rims to buy, im lookin at three options right now.......the maya dtm, iforged sprint series, and the maya 5 spoke wheels. anyone have any other suggestions all the pics in the forum that i have seen dont really catch my eye........my 545 is silver/gray so i want something thats going to match that real smooth........if you guys have pics or recommendations please advise thanks fellow 5ers!

 

This is personal preference IMHO. Something I like you may not etc. etc. I have the same dilema.

I like 2 BMW OEM wheels, the style 125 and the 128, but there's already a guy in my town that already has the 128! These wheels are cheap compared to the 3 or 2 piece wheels. 1/2 the price w/ tires!

Did you consider BMW OEM custom wheels?

 

not really my style per say i like the deep dish look somthing unique not ur typical 5 spoke etc... but id love to see what everyones taste is like

 

Looking at the choices you are already considering, I'd definitely go with the iForged Sprint. Get a staggered set-up with a greater offset for the rears to get that deep dish look you want.

8.5 x 20" up front
10 x 20" rears

Let us know what you decide on.

 

silver gray here with maya 20's....

 

thanks guys yeah the 5 spoke mayas dont look all that im leaning toward the iforged but EVERYONE tells me dont get them cuz they are poor quaility .........im still lost so opinions are welcomed

 

I love my 20"'s. I will replace the M5 19"'s for 20"'s!!!!!!

 

Hey Alex.Br sell me your New M5 wheels and tires when you get'em!

 

Let's deal!!!

 

I've never heard such a complaint.
As the name implies, the wheels are forged. This is a process that strengthens the metal and still remain light-weight. A wheel of this type should be driven with care on the streets, but are perfect for the track.

You can always get cast wheels, but they will almost always be heavier, thus cheaper to buy. For example, take a 20" x 9" wheel. If casted, it may weigh 34 lbs. If forged, it may weigh 26 lbs.

Now, if you add that up and say to yourself that 32 lbs isn't such a big deal, it's clear that forged wheels are not for you.
