I too need help picking out wheels.

[Daffy]

So I thought I'd just quickly add to the current slough of threads regarding wheel choice.

Firstly here is a picture of my car. It's an '09 BMW 135i. This picture was right after I finished installing my coilovers, so the front is almost lined up with the top of my wheels now The rears will be coming down more too when I have the time.



I have been pondering over wheels for the past few months now, so I figured I'd ask you guys for some input. There's two different routes that I could go. I could pick up an older set of three-piece wheels and get them rebarreled and remade for my offsets and sizes, or I could order new wheels.

As far as the refinishing part goes, I was looking at maybe Gotti G1001's or Work Equips. (I'm a noob when it comes to refinishing wheels, so if these aren't even possible I apologize).

And for new wheels I was looking at the 3SDM 0.05's or maybe Rotiform NUE's (The cheap ones, I wish I could afford to get a custom set made).

I'm honestly open to any suggestions, just have to be 5x120, 18 x >8.5, and have a high offset.

Cheers!

What is your budget? That is kinda going to have the biggest impact on your wheel options...

Ah yes I forgot to post that.

I really don't want to spend more than $2,000 on the wheels alone (so without tyres). Which really makes it difficult.

I would go for something from Rotiform, the car is pretty modern...

going to be hard to get those in decent sizes for his budget

OP get some used Jap wheels

I second Rotiform. I have a set of cast nues, they are wonderful

[MommysLittleMonster]

If you want to stand out, don't get Rotiforms.

I would shy away from any meshy, multi-spoke looking wheel on the car based on the fact that it's so modern and curvy.

get something simple! No roti!

I wonder what it would look like with a set of Meisters.

It would look like sex. Pure, unadulterated sex.

I think a set of Bazreia's would look unique.
