Help me find wheels for the RSpec

I absolutely love this look but the price, not so much.

Anything with the concave mesh look in the $600/wheel range in 20"

I gotta agree, the stocks are pretty nice and they are 20's correct? That being said, those are my absolute favorite wheels on the BMW but I feel they my get lost on your car. I love the Rspec but it just seems to me it looks better with a wheel that covers more

What do you think about these?

Linea Corse LC818. I think you could do a 19x8.5 and they would run you $1300~ for the set. Beautiful wheels in person...actually most of their wheels are gorgeous.

Yeah I was thinking a HRE P40 clone.

Those Lineas would look good on the Genesis.

I suppose I could have made them into 20"s, but here are the Jerez as they would look in 19"s.

Thanks MarbleGT.

Yeah the LC818s are nice. Someone on the Hyundai board already has them. I really think I want 20s though and these don't come in 20"

Man....that looks nice...digg'n the Porsche exhaust tips

These Genesis' remind of seeing my first few GS400s with exhaust on them. You see that car making that noise and its insta-mind blown.

I am guessing, and don't know for sure, but guess that the Forgestars are every bit as expensive as the HREs.

Yeah you're right, was looking at the price for the 18's. 20's are still $1860 though, I assume HRE's/Linea Corse run closer to 3000?

Hmmm. The Avant Garde's are nice. $1500.
Thanks HBaJ

Anyone know if they are quality wheels? Obviously not forged but I'm pretty careful and this isn't my DD.

I see lots of AG on BMWs on the 3-series board; never heard seen anyone complaining about quality issues with them.

I recommended the same ones to you in the wheel thread you started a few months ago haha.

Cousin of mine has them (M359) on his E90, after about 6 months of driving no issues.

That's right, you did! Too bad my ex-business partner fouled up all my modding plans...among other things.

I love the wheels, and have eyed them since 2011. Alas, they don't fit well on a bug body cruiser, and they aren't concave.

Thats annoying, but tbh I kind of prefered the Forgestar style on a bigger bodied car anyways. Or this Avant Garde M368 even in the specific Dolphin Grey color would compliment your car pretty nicely. Choices, choices.

M368s don't come in the right offset. +20 for both the 8.5s and 10.0s won't work.

I need
Front: 20x8.5 +35
Rear: 20x10 +40

Appreciate all the ideas. Keep em coming.

What about the Axxis Allies. They come in the offset you need.

I'm not fond of the "web/mesh" look for the Rspec.

I do however like the flat faced spoked rims for the Rspec.
Iseeyou2 posted the Rotiforms and they look absolutely amazing!

Rotiforms are nice. Just have to figure out if the offsets will work.

AME FS-01? Checked offsets etc, everything checks out, but think they're kind of rare now.

20x9 +35 20x10 +35 should work without any issues. The R-Spec looks like it has plenty of room to fit those, and they can be had for about $400 per wheel. I would suggest lower offsets though if you want a more concave look... unless you don't want to roll fenders.

Anything over 9" in the new models are concave, but I can appreciate that.

I would think the Rotiforms would be expensive too. Not Forgestar expensive but definitely a $2000+ wheel and tire package.

Well he said his budget is $600/wheel (without tires I'm guessing). Rotiform's are only ~$400/wheel which leaves a ~$200 budget per tire per wheel..

Picky, picky.

Who cares what they look like, as long as they are light and support the rubber you need.
