My choice: Axis penta. I prefer them above the others.

Good luck while choosing!
I agree, out of those go with the Axis.

No, my budget of $2000, excludes tires. I will look at the SEVAS wheels.

It is interesting how different people are subjective about looks. One of the top candidates for me is the Axis Penta, this seems to be shared by some of the forum members. My wife is adamant that they are boring and common. Suggesting that they came off an old Caprice Classic. That is not the look I want.

I am leaning towards the EXE Konkourse (most expensive unfortunately) for their uniqueness. I was worried that people would have an immediate :thumbsdown: reaction to them. That does not seem to be the case in these responses. Their webpage really shows off the wheels well.

Does anyone know if member TBlax545i is happy with his Konkourse's?

Thanks again for all the responses.

These were definitely on my short list. Still considering to some degree. They are just that little bit more expensive than the rest.

they are under 2k. check quad_m or bmwwheels.com w/o tires

heres a sample of what you car will sit if lowered: nicke60gre's car

When I looked at bmwwheels.com they came out to about $2250 and quad_m quoted me $2595. I have admired Nick60gre's and could see myself going with that look. Then I thought for less money I can get 20" and have a wheel that is maybe a little more unique.

I looked at the Sevas wheels. They look to be a little flashy for me and I couldn't find any pricing. The solid chrome is too much and I think that the black with chrome lip looks better on a grey car.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I am strongly leaning toward the EXE Konkourse.

Check out the various wheels that we have on our site for your car.

http://www.modbargains.com

They are replicas, but their quality is top notch. We have sold a ton of them w/o problems.

Feel free to PM or e-mail me if you have any questions about any of our wheels.

thanks.
