At first, she said 25,000. I said i will buy it and i will call her in 1hr to comfirm the deal. She called me back in 30mins and told me 25,000 is too cheap. Since it is such a nice car, I am still buying it for 26,000. I was trying to check kbb, but the car is too new.

Seems kinda low... That's alot of options for 26k. If you priced out a 2008 with the same it would be close 32k.

Is it new? If not be sure to do a Carfax on it.

If it all checks out. Grab it that's an awesome deal!

I ordered OZ Ultraleggera (Graphite) for my R57 with Avon tires. Tire Rack will do it all for you in terms of size, offset, etc. Check my gallery for the look. I also have some other pics I would be glad to send you.

There is a huge thread called Show me your WHEELS! in the Wheels, Tires, & Brakes forum. Worthwhile browsing the forums other threads as well.

I bought a set of Rota RB 16x7 that I use for everyday driving with 205/55-16 tires, and a set of CenterLine RPM 17x7 with 205/45-17 for AutoX and canyon carving. The CenterLine wheels are lightweight for their size, and inexpensive, but finish is not great and the company has an F rating with the BBB.

The Rota RB area reasonably lightweight and have a classic look. Finish is good, and they are inexpensive. They are a little hard to clean.

I purchased 17-inch OZ Crono HTs from TireRack and they have been great. For the record, they are 17x7 with ET37 and 215/40/17 rubber. I was concerned that the offset would set the wheels out too wide, but I think they actually came out perfect. Stock suspension too. Lots of affordable options out there. Do your research and make sure you get exactly what you want.
