Thank you guys. I'm also leaning towards 840r.
Along the cost of the wheels they'll probably charge me through the roof for delivery to Canada.

540 or 840. Some advise, get the lip chromed and the face painted or better yet, powder coated. I had 540R's on my Porsche and I had the lip clear coated and they started to peel after about 1 1/2 years. Go Chrome, it's worth it! Easier to clean as well!!!!! Here's a picture of my wheels with a chromed lip.

The 840 is the one I'd pick. The 541 would be my second choice, and it would be the easiest to keep clean. The 540 would be my third choice- too much like the old-style BBS wheels BMW used to use 10 to 15 years ago.
