wheel and tire setup

[sCingilli]

Hey guys, I have a 2000 323ci and I'm going to be needing some new tires soon so I thought I might as well get some nice, lightweight wheels to go with my sticky summer tires. Thing is, I have no clue what to go for tire-wise..

What I would like to get from you guys is a few tire/wheel suggestions.
I'd like to run 17"s and stagger them if possible. Thanks guys.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs with some BBS wheels. Can't go wrong with BBS's proven strong and durable lightweight wheels and the RE-01R is the closest tire you can get to an R-compound for the street. Any reason you want to go staggered?

You know, not really other than I personally think it looks sweet. I make no where NEAR enough power to necessitate a stagger. But it is good if I do.. Eventually..

BBS's break the bank man... I have some ASA AR2's in mind, whatcha think?

They aren't the same, that's for sure. Check out the classifieds section on this site, there are some deals out there.

Yeah, I know.. I honestly don't think my dad would be comfortable buying wheels off of a forum though.

EDIT: I'm looking at the Enkei Racing NT03-M (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=3657801238BS&wheelMake=Enkei+Racing&wheelModel=NT03-M&wheelFinish=Bright+Silver+Paint&showRear=no&autoMake=BMW&autoModel=323Ci&autoYear=2000&autoModClar=&filterSize=All&filterFinish=All&filterSpecial=false&filterBrand=All&filterNew=All&sort=Brand)'s. They're a bit more expensive but a helluva lot lighter. Opinions?

How deep are your pockets? There are A LOT of options that you can go with for a sticky summer tire.

As mentioned above, from the Eagle F1s to the RE-01R the combinations are endless, I'll gladly help you out with anything you need, we can also do wheel/tire packages.
