My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
If I could have any set of rims regardless of price, I'd probably go with BBS RCJ's or RG-R's. These are the best combination of strength and lightness. Some wheels may be lighter, but they wouldn't be stronger, and vice versa.
RCJ's
RG-R's (these are OEM M3 CSL wheels!)
Sure, they're not the best looking wheels out there, but there's a reason why F1 cars use BBS. I think HRE's are better looking, but have heard wheels like that are just heavy jewelry.

[/quote]I'm surprised to hear that. I thought HRE's were made from the best type of metal and that is why they are so expensive. Anyway a lot of us don't take our cars to the track like some of the porsche owners. For everyday driving it's good enough.
