I've been looking through some galleries and haven't run into these on a car yet, I'm trying to keep my wheel budget pretty cheap because of the fact that it's a lease so I can't justify spending $1000+ on wheels to sell them in 2 years.

What do you guys think?

If you like them - take them. I hate black wheels with chrome lip, to to each his own.

I do like black wheels with a chrome lip, but I'm kind of partial....

[oneshare325]

I kinda like them....

[shragon]

they're aight.

Are wheels like the one's listed safe? As in, driving your car 100 mph+ safe?

A full set of wheels for $700 seems like a steal. Taking into account wheels from ACS and HRE are 3 or 4 times that much.

personally i would never purchase any one piece rims EVER.... my dad has nice chrome 20 inch rims under his mbz CLS 500.. anyways 1 time him and my mom were driving down to a casino about an hour away and on the way back the rear left rim somehow disassembled off the rotor and thank god the rim had a large lip it somehow managed to stay rolling on the rotor... anyways rotor was damaged nothing happened to the car and my parents.. THANK GOD...

Shitty situation but sounds like a one off freak accident that could happen with any kind of wheel

Aren't most wheels one piece?

short answer: Yes

long answer: Yes, defintely

Well.......they'll get you by as having a set of black wheels with polished lips (those arent chromed). But I mean we have black wheels with lips and thenn we have blackkk wheels with lips. They're probably heavy as bricks too. Honestly I think that unless your not going to go with atleast a DPE, iForged, HRE....so on and so forth caliber of wheel for a 3 piece or 2 piece wheel.......then a set of CSL reps or used BBS is the best way to go becuase those two types of wheels still have their own flavor and style that isnt trying to be something its not, such as any other black wheel out there. CSL's and BBS' are their own thing and arent trying to look like anything but them selves. I dunno if it makes sense or not. Thats the problem with black wheels these days, some people have black wheels just for the sake of having black wheels. I see soooooo many cheap ass black wheels on everything from civics, mini vans, and other cars imaginable. So keep it real and original with some CSL or BBS, thats just my .02 cents though

I definitely understand what you're saying

But I think I might be stuck for the price I'm willing to pay.

Well here, take a look at some of these on E9x's.......you can get those in hyper black or a nice and clean silver and they're about 900 with shipping!! Light wieght too, a classic and gorgeous design that will never go outa of style. I had a set of DPE's and now have a set of iForged essens and even I still love these and wouldnt hesitate for even a second to throw them on or get some instead of my other wheels. I just wish they made them in a 10'' width for the rear. Im looking at those pics from the link I added....and god damn are those csl hot! I love concave wheels, so sexy and makes the car look its wider and has a more agressive stance. Keep in mind that you have these things easily painted any color you like by a good shop. You can get them in hyper black or silver through www.**********s.com

I'm still not a fan, but I don't have to be seen in your car

[montreal_bimmer]

not bad

[OC ///M]

OP: YES.


I'll never understand it....


Yeah, Throw those on there!!! They'll look soo sick!

It's like buying a tuxedo and then going to look for tennis shoes (black ones though) to match.

Keep it up!

[NaViT]
