Who wants to help me find wheels?

TerpEvo · 08-23-2013, 07:48 PM

So what I'm looking for.

These are must haves
For simplicity I'd really like the wheels to be 5x120. I'd love not to have to re-bore.
Bore can be simple with a hub-centric ring so doesn't have to be BMW size.
Must be 18"
Must be 5 spoke, not splits.
The wheel must have continuous lip. Ex: I do not want CF5 style where the spoke interrupts the lip by being flush with the exterior width.

These are preferreds
I'd prefer the spoke to have some concavity or curve to them, but flat faced can work.
I'd prefer the spokes to be gold with a polished lip, but obviously can have that done post purchase too
The bigger the lip the better.
Car is an 08 E90 with sport suspension. I'm ok with fender modification but do not do stretch n' poke. I'm looking at 8.5/9" fronts and 10.5/11" rears with 235/40s and 265or275/35 Falken 615k's. So ideally the wheels come in those sizes.
prefer 2 pieces
I'd like to to spend under 3,500 on the wheels alone. This likely rules out BC forged and HRE I believe...though could be wrong.

Wheels I've already ID'd and are considering:

SSR Executor EX01's. Flat face but big lip. 2 pieces. Come in gold. These are brand new, so if it turns out with a particular offset or size they have concave spokes I'd jump on them.
Advan TCIII's. Curved/concave spoke, but small lip. I've seen some with 12" barrels that still only have like 1" lip. If the EX01's dont have any concavity these would be the front runners.
Forgestar F05s. These actually had exactly what I was looking for, but as far as I can find they are out of production.

That's it. That is all I can find. I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone cares to lend or suggest.

Here are several. All are available in gold.

I found them here: http://www.carid.com/avant-garde-whe...h-1042838.html

All the best and happy modding.

Volk GT-S and their Reps
Vertini Drifts

have caught my attention. Worried they only come in 19s though. 18s were pretty important for me considering I want some easy to source tires for tracking.

Mod Bargains sells those I think. I got my F14s from them. I love the wheels I have!

How about
SSR Sp1
Many sizes and offsets to choose 18x9-12.5

Work wheels. You can choose pretty much everything the way you want.

Crap should edit first post. Prefer 1 solid not stepped lip.

Those do look great though. Always loved them on the scoobs.

The SSR Professor looks great though.

Those look pretty damn good. Being forged though, I'm assuming the ~$1500 price is per wheel.

I'm poking around for the SSRs in different disc settings. Maybe the ones they have on their site are only the hyper disc or something that cause the 2 step to be more pronounced. For example the Professor SP1R 's that only come in like 15/16/17 are exactly what I'm looking for. No step, 5 spoke, not flat faced, multi piece and even if you added another $100 a wheel to make them 18s they're in my price bracket. Shame.

Yeah, the Forgeline prices are from 1400-1600$. Try asking from SSR for more info of the lip possibilities.
