Decided on 19" DPE S-10

I got a pretty good deal on these rims. Retail being $5300. But financially not really capable so we'll see how it turns out..

Are those 19s or 20s? Thats kind of expensive for a company Ive never heard of.
You can probably get 19" volks, Wheels and Tein Coilovers for $5300.

The Volks Progressiv line which I was considering is $891 per wheel. I got a really good deal on this set, but I can't say how much due to the company wanting privacy. =( Unfortunately I might not be able to take advantage of this awesome deal..and have to wait..and will probably have to get Volks..

These wheels are forged 3 pieces using aircraft aluminum.

I'm feeling those Icy, post pics when you make it hot. You gotta murder them, or keep a alloy/chrome lip?

Well I posted to get opinions on the rims, not the pricing. I only mentioned pricing so someone doesn't bring up the price of these rims.

You could probably get progressives for $700/wheel and most other Volks for
around $650. Actually, you might be able to get even lower. A dollar can buy you
close to a 100 yen right now.

Oh wow, never really thought about ordering straight from the company. $650 would be cheap as hell! But wouldn't shipping internationally be a killer?

I personally don't like DPEs so between the two, I like Progressiv.

Some of the rims I'm looking at are Volk GT30s, BBS LMs and the RonJon Sentinels. I really like the LM-Rs but they're like 1500/rim. I saw a picture of a 3G TL with black GT30s and they were

since your bolt pattern is 5x120.. u can go look at the BMW forums! they got very nice wheels over there and might even have those DPE's used.. Unless you are planning on buying new..

Should I go for 20" or 19"? The local dealer says to put 20" on because easier to obtain tires whenever I need to change them out plus black makes the rims look smaller.

Forget being able to get tires easy, you guys think 19" looks better or 20"?

I say 20"s because the car size and wheel well is big enough for it, anything bigger would be ghetto.
