I too need help picking out wheels.

[Daffy]

Never realized this post got replies, sorry about that!

Rotiforms are alright, but their cast wheels at these offsets are rather plain. I like them but I think there's much better options out there for this car in particular. Those 3SDM ones are awesome, but if I remember correctly they aren't being released for a while? So I will look into them for next season for sure.

1badg35; those wheels are gorgeous! I have a feeling they may not be in my price range though

As of right now I'm leaning pretty heavily to a set of Watercooled IND. CC10's. Uncommon wheel and I think the modern 5-Spoke design and concave would look rather nice with the lines of my car. And I can fit them too!

Here's a shitty photoshop of how it'd look, definitely different.

I'll be honest, that looks awful in my opinion. Looks like VW wheels on a BMW, which probably isn't the look you want.

how about haman pg1

Fair enough, but they're cheap and fit :/ I'm torn on them too, on one hand they could look amazing and be something no one else has done and on the other they'd look like complete shit and I'd regret it in every way.

They'd work, but I don't have $2400 to drop on the ones that fit haha.

2k€ 10 and 11x18 et 14 n 18 ebay.de (with tyres)

but yeah i guess that's 2.4K$

And the offsets I can safely run are ~ >+35 front and rear, and I'd rather not pay $2400 and then another $1000 just so they can fit

Thanks for the suggestion though man, I appreciate it! And thanks to everyone else for all the help and feedback, it's super helpful.

I'm definitely keeping an eye on these

Great find, time to look around the German eBay a little bit more.

Or what about these? I have no clue why but I'm rather drawn to the VW concave big-spoke look. I think it would look decent on my car (despite the photochop) because unlike most BMW's mine is short and stubby

Just remember this bit of advice-

The bitter taste of regret is remembered long after the sweetness of a good deal.

Never compromise on the one part that has the biggest visual impact towards a cars appearance, especially in this game.

No. Just no.

Check out VR wheels and other places like that for good deals on wheels.

Well, I just remembered you're bolt pattern is 5x120 so I'm not sure how well of a site that would be as they import a lot of jap wheels that are 4/5x100 and 4/5x114.3...

Worth a gander every now and again though. 1 piece Meisters would look faptastic as well as any other mesh type wheel.

The lines of your car are really curvey and have a nice "flow" to them. You wan't a wheel that will compliment that.

@Mommy; you're correct, though these would be temporary until fall when I can afford nicer ones.

@andy; Yeah idk why I posted that link earlier, I just looked back and wasn't happy with that decision at all. I'm assuming the 1 piece meisters would be reps though correct? And unfortunately I'm not one for mesh wheels, those VMR CSL reps are all people seem to run on 1ers.

Maybe some of those AC Schnitzer 5 spoke wheels would be worth looking into? I seem to remember they came in a similar offset.

That seems kind of asinine to spend a large sum on wheels, just to keep saving for wheels- doesn't it? I mean, if you want your budget to grow, just roll on your stock wheels and keep saving until you REALLY have a budget you want.

To be honest, your stock wheels still look fantastic on your car. I don't see any giant reason to dump thousands of dollars on wheels to be "temporary", especially when you add the cost of mounting and balancing tire twice to change up your setup in a few months.

Just keep your car as-is, enjoy it, and go nuts in a few more months. Never compromise just because you feel the urge to 'change things up' for other people's enjoyment. Fuck, I rolled on stock Prelude wheels for almost 3 years before I got a set of wheels I loved.

Pretty sure Work makes 1 Piece Meisters. Lots of people run them.

What he said. I waited like a year and half before I found my wheels. While I wish they were a little wider, I still love the hell out of them.

Will do, cheers guys!

If a mod could close this thread that'd be great, I've gotten the feedback and answer I need so there's no reason to keep it open anymore <3
