There are a lot of choices. Personally I like the Japanese made wheels from Volk in terms of strength, quality and light weight. It really depends what style you like.

for the price im gonna have to say ccw (not because i own a set or anything like that) ive had a set of te37's, bbs chs (not like they are really light weight), Rotiform's, DPE's and a few other brands but honestly my classics are one of the best wheels ive ever had. 2500 for simple finish and custom everything.... thats a deal for me plus 18x12 21.6lb.... thats legit. but again my 2 cents

BBS FI - believe they are 10 K a set.
19 inch wheels are around 16 LBS! My dream wheels but i will probably never own them. Unless i can find a set fo 5K used. (in

My 19" Morr VS8.2's only weigh 19 lbs.....I love them. I'd like a set of 18" APEX ARC-8 track shoes which are really affordable. If you are on a tight budget, check out Mod Bargains. They make a form flow CSL rep that only weigh 18 lbs and are very inexpensive.

^__^ i like the look of them too, but i don't think i'll be spending upwards of $5k on wheels... i live in a dodgy neighborhood and forbid me ever to leave my car out overnight; my wheels would be gone before i could truly enjoy them. (wheels locks or not). Sidenote: a guy 3 blocks away had 5 different locks (from 5 different brands) on his wheels and they STILL jacked his CCW's.... |

for the money, a "standard" set of 18" volk te-37's are hard to beat in weight. still nowhere close to being considered "cheap" tho hahah
if you can clear the stock 335i brakes, 17s would be even lighter and open up more options. |

thanks for the feedback guys, im going to do some research in all of the different suggestions. So far the TE37's are the most appealing but they are a bit expensive. love that rustic/gold color

If you are on a budget then I highly recommend Apex wheels. Very light weight and reportedly very very strong. A lot of BMW track guys are using them with great success. They are currently on top of my list along with some nice CCWs as well, although those are getting played out a bit on the Euro scene.

The offsets are bit weird, but they'll work. Great lightweight wheel indeed.

regardless of brand something cant be played out until too many people are doing the same thing. te37's are everywhere but if you ask someone they will say its not played out. just depends on how you do it just my 2 cents

Personally, I can't stand mesh wheels. There is just too much going on visually and they require more work to keep them clean from brake dust.
