What do you guys think about these rims?

I figured everyone on here would be dead honest so I figured I would ask you guys.

This is the set I am considering. They are not that expensive plus I think they have a "Euro/Tuner meets Luxury feel". They come in at just over $2,100.

This is my second choice. I told myself that I didnt want to spend over $4,500 for rims, but I think these are sweet. My wife told me just to go for it, but I am not sure. These will run close to 6K total.

I also want to add the H&R Sport Springs. So take this into consideration.

So what do you think? Should I go with the O.Z. rims or the Bremmer Rims?

Chrome rims don't belong on BMWs, just my opinion. The OZ wheels look OK, but they are heavier than OE wheels = performance penalty. And damned expensive to boot.

The Morr custom monoblock forged wheels weigh ~20 lbs for 19", really look good on BMWs, and are less expensive than the OZ.

Can't honestly say I like either of them, but I'd take the O.Z.'s if it was down to these two. Have you given any thought to the O.Z. Superleggera III? They cost and weigh a bit less than the Botticellis, but look much better IMO.

Ditto, have you considered retaining the 264's? They are quite attractive in their particular skeletal way.

My friend, since you ask I will be brutally honest with you. Chrome rims are for show. They are heavy and just don't look right on sport cars (GT's).

What color is your car, perhaps we can help you find the "look" your looing for?

Here are some styles you might not be familiar with:












There are plenty of choices, but please no chrome.

I did some sleeping on this last night. I am going to wait until I have the car so I can sit there and look at it for a while. If I put $6K into this car it should be for performance. But I am still considering rims, but I may stay with the 18's for a while.
