I'm kinda partial to my current wheels: 17" Enkei PF01's. But then again, wheel choice is highly personal...

You should get the lightest, strongest wheels that you like and can afford.

Cheap, soft, heavy wheels are no way to go through life...

There are three atributes when dealing with wheels.

Strong, light, and cheap. You usually only get to chose 2. Usually you chose 2 and get the opposite of the third.

Example: Strong and light ain't cheap. Light and cheap ain't stong... You get the idea.

Another example: My BBS Rg-r's on the M3 are light and strong, but not cheap.


Anything that actually says "rep" is usually a POS.

I would say go for what YOU like and what you can afford and of course depends on what you want them for, if you are auto crossing or showing or just every day drive.... i looked on Craislist and score big... i also have an extra set of light weigh enkei's 17" for auto crossing what i got on craigslist for $100.00 with tires.. check out the thread on my car since you have a blue one you also want something that will match...
Good luck in your quest for rims....

I mean dude... have you surfed on tire rack?! You can sort by size and weight and find your solution there.
