Hey guys,
It's getting time to replace my rims and I've been doing all sorts of searching. I've come up with a couple options that I kinda like...but not completely happy with. Most of the 5 spokes I like have the rivets around the outside. I don't care for the rivet look and want a cleaner look than rivets provide.
So, for those that have the time, I was hoping for a little help. I'm looking for an 18" rim with 5 spokes, staggered setup, silver color, with a lip, and no rivets for my '99 M3.
I know it sounds like I'm being lazy but I really have been searching for a while now. I see all sorts of cool looking rims on members cars but can't seem to find them online. Pics and links would be very helpful.
TIA

Here is a link to all of the 18" wheels we carry. If I can help let me know.

Thanks Jim,
I have been on your site so many times looking for the 'right' rim for myself. I really like the Breyton Imagine's but pricing is a little high. Any chance of dropping that $419 a rim for me?

Thanks for the effort bud!!

Unfortunately that is the best that I would have on that wheel.

I was always fond of the way Roja Formula 5's looked. I don't know if theyre discontinued but they are forged and look awesome (imo).

Dunno if they make an offset for your car, but I like SSR GT2's. Clean, beautiful 5 spoke look. If I hadn't gotten a great deal on 4 M5 rear wheels ($800), I would have some of those on my car.
EDIT: Jim's link shows both 18x8 and 18x8.5 availible for your car. I think those are the best 5 spokes around right now, personally. Not a bad price, either.

The Roja's look good. I'll dig around and see if I can find anyone selling them.
