well... are you running a BBK? or planning to? if so then i suggest either Ultraleggera or BBS, reason being i know those will fit a BBK like stoptechs with a 5mm spacer, no problems with the spoke design with them to my knowledge... ... if you want just freaking GORGEOUS wheels then get the VOLKs or SSR (both volk and SSRs are EXTREMELY high quality.... you would not be disappointed with any of them.) if anything stig, you'd be hard pressed to find any problem with ANY of them.... if you want to see the wheels on the car i know MotoringFile had Ultraleggeras on their black R56 with JCW Stage1 and Suspension....

http://www.motoringfile.com/2008/11/...i-vs-stage-ii/

as for the rest... best i can suggest is TireRack to see them

if i may add to the list... Team Dynamics wheels (like the ones i ahve) come in a LOT of sizes, colors, offsets, u name it. and they're very strong for a budget wheel.

I vote for BBS LM's. RGR's are pretty nice too.

BBS RE or CCW Classics... I currently have Ultraleggeras which are pretty nice and I had some SSR Type C's on my M3 which were okay... but BBS RE's are on a totally different level IMO.
