Alright guys and gals, let's get some of your ideas/opinions on board. If you can have any set of wheels for your ride, and if cost is not an issue, what would it be? If cost is an issue, what would be your more realistic choice?

Attach images if you can. Describe the brand and size set-up, if you want you can include tire sizes.

My top two favorites are the Radenergie R10s and the Avus AF-502. The prices are similar but I ordered the R10s in black (20x9, 20x10) since Radenergie is more specific to BMW and I think Avus makes wheels for general applications. I thought the Radenergies would be a bit more unique.

should've gone with the avus wheels... imo they run circles around the r10s as far as looks and quality.

I love the 19" ACS Type IV wheels, that's what I got now on my car. Tires are Goodyear F1 GS-D3 245/35/19


Racing Dynamics wheels are good too.

I would not regret your choice.... After much deliberation I went with the Radenergie also. I get compliments all the time on them. Again, this is person choice, but the 5 star pattern is very common. Not that the spoke design is not unique, but the R10 sure cannot be mistaken for another common wheel.

Don't look back, you made a great choice, the R10 compliments the car perfectly.

If you want a 5 star type whee, the SSR GT3 is much less expenive and looks nice. I considered them, but went with the Radenergies becasue they are more unique.
