Anil, should we ban Steve for not getting pics of Matt's M3?
Edit: I guess this will have to do, you can see a headlight and some handsome fella behind it in a white hat

So I been searching for wheels for a year now and well I can't seem to find anything that isn't totally super low offset or 20's. so does anybody have any ideas on a set of wheels that look good on our cars? I have searched and searched and seen 1000's of pictures and yes I find wheels I like but really can't justify spending 2-4k on a set of wheels for my car. So basically looking for what will fit over these brembos and that aren't totally ugly or super low set.
Cliff notes: i hate wheel shopping and brembos are a pain.

with the brembo's you will have to be around the 25-30 offset (depending on the wheels)....if they concave, you will have to either go higher or lower....
depending on your budget, you can get XXR 527/530/535...wheels will run you ~600 bucks (for the set)
or look into some Enkei's/TSW/Rota/etc and you should be able to get a set less than $1000....
then come to premium category, Advans/Wedssports/Volk, and you can get them used for ~1300-2200 or new from 1800-5000 again depending on the wheels....
If tight on cash, I would suggest XXR/Rotas/etc....the set with tires will run you ~1300-ish...

I actually like Matt's wheels, similar design to mine. I have been contemplating new wheels as well, and and I will agree with you that wheel shopping is a royal PITA. You'll find something eventually though.

Price would be around 1100 for everything (wheels/tires/tpms) when I do sell. Will probably be around the first of next year if I can wait that long.
stuck on deciding what route to go

I'm kind of giving up on my car. After going to all these car meets/cruises and seeing all these fast/nice cars, I want something different. 
Maybe getting some new wheels and some power adders it will make me like my car again. I didn't even drive it this weekend

Yeah look into them....its very easy....no need to take the caliper out, no need to re-bleed your brakes....and from what I hear they last very long....
I did recently sand and paint the wifey's brake calipers as well....the paint might avoid the stupid rusting....

Anil is correct, the G2 kit looks great. Plus, I lost one of the rear brembo covers from the rear calipers.
So I reordered a set of the Brembo covers. I was disappointed because when I went back to order from the original place I get the first set of covers, all I could find was the 4 pack set. I went ahead and ordered that set of 4. It came in and 2 covers were larger than the 2nd set (for the rears).
We wound up using the larger Brembo covers on the rear calipers. They look MUCH better and now look like all 4 Brembo's (the real ones and the covers) are the same size. It looks more like a Porsche setup, which obviously has 4 real Brembo's.

It's not that I don't like Lamborghini. It's just the maintenance makes it less possible to get. They'll always be my favorite.....
