Wheel recommendations?

m3s_are_crisp · 04-06-2011, 08:58 PM

Everything I've looked at are either $1000 for a set or $4-5000. I'm having a hard time finding the middle ground. Lots of sites don't list prices so that makes it even harder.

Any recommendations on brands I can look at in the 2000-3000 range?

Volks and Advan racing makes alot of the best wheels money can buy in the $3000 range.

Anymore and you would only have BBS or NEEZ

Word. I'll take a look at those.

MORR wheels in the group buy section. Right in your price point.

Select BBS, ADV Flowspec and Forgestar are also in that price range.

Recommend that you read 2 very valuable Sticky's located at the top of this forum (it will help to explain some of the cost differences):
1. Wheel Manufacturing Methods: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=357430
2. Wheel Standards: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=353224

You will have to spend a lot of money to beat the overall quality and value of the BMW OEM wheels that are available for the M3. The Morr VS8.2 appears to be a good value as do Advan and Volk wheels. If you want to spend real money, you can't go wrong with any wheel manufactured by Taneisya (Dinan, Neez, RAC). All of the wheels I've listed are certified to meet either the JWL/VIA or TUV standards. There are other good brands. JWL/VIA or TUV certifications, or extensive track use with lots of user feedback are important indicators of a quality product.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've read the info in those 2 links. I'll have to dig around a bit, find something I like, and get some quotes.
