[live2roll]

My dad has an 02 white vert. and I just sold the stocks for him and he wants me to get him some new wheels w/tires and i have a 2500 price range. i know its not much when looking into getting some new wheels for an m but this is what i have to work with and hoping you guys could help me out. i could proly go a little above the price so lets see what you could recommend. i am looking to get 19's for sure and at least 9" in the rear. I was looking at getting they breyton inspriations but not sure about those. only good ones ive found in my price range so far. so please help me out here guys i need to get some soon just let me know what kind of wheels you recommend that is in my price range and where i can get them from.

They're not mine, but I sent the owner a message asking for some. I know he has pics. Just not sure about digitally (old-school). He has a BEAUTIFUL wall-hanging made of the M-Roadster and M3.

I'm selling my OZ Opera IIs, they are 18", fronts are 8", rears are 10" (with a nice lip). Selling for $2,000, includes BFG KDs with a little life left. This setup new cost over $3,500. These are rare wheels, which would make your car very unique. It looks like you are kinda local too, so no shipping costs if you pick them up :D .

With that price, look at getting something lightweight that's forged, not cast. Stay away from breyton, they're REALLY heavy, all they'll do is slow the car down.

my dad doesnt really race his car at all he rarely even drives the thing i dont think he's concerned about speed. but where can i get some good wheel/tire packages for that kinda price?

Hey Deven,

Did you or your dad look at the pics of my wheels? Let me know if you want to see them in person, they are almost perfect, & I think they would look cool on a white vert. We could even do a sample fitting on one side so you could see what they look like on the car!

It has very little to do with racing. Increasing your unsprung weight will do more than just make the car slow. It will INCREASE your braking distance, it will make the car more sluggish to throttle inputs. It will make the car handle less crisply.

If your dad really doesn't care about all that, then get a set of spinners 'cause he's all about the bling.
