Personal choice but still want opinions/ideas

Hi all,
Help me decide what to do about wheels will you, it's driving me mad!!!

Was after a set of RGR, RS-GR, or LMR reps but I just can't find any at all. So now I have to rethink my wheels choice so I want some ideas and opinions from you guys.
I know this is a personal choice and I really shouldn't care what anyone else thinks but I've become so obsessed with the BBS reps I can't see anything else!

Requirements are:
19"
Staggered
Deep dish
Ideally gunmetal centre but not a priority anymore.

And............. GO!

Good start, although not a fan of the RS, they look too busy

Actually, I've just seen a RS style wheel without the stepped lip - now that looks cool! However, I can't find them being sold anywhere, typical!!!

What's your budget? What if they're not reps... what if they're OEM, deep dish, step lip etc?

Budget - £800ish just for rims (got tyres waiting)
Oems - even better but doubt I'll get anything decent with that budget which is why I'm looking at reps.
I'd set my mind on a set of RGR's with gunmetal center but they're just not available in a BMW fitment.
So looking for others now, just something a little different but not over the top! And nothing like that mental dude on here with orange rims................

I have the same dilemma myself.
One minute I want deep concave rims and then the next I want deep dish.. just couldnt decide.

I'm now thinking the good old CSL reps in hyper silver. 19x8.5 et35 & 19x9.5 et25...

at least thats the last email I sent Chris at CMWeels.. and then I saw the photos thread where someone in the states has just put some Blitz Technospeed with a huge dish on his E90 and they look immense...

I'ts a hard choice

One step ahead of you MAN15H, I defiantly want a deep dish. I've gone from loving the step lip to loving a flat deep

Yes I love the flat deep lip set-up as well but where can you get these types of rim from for a reasonable price.. I mean your budget is about what I would be willing to pay for such as set.

^^^^ good question!!!! And there's the problem. I keep finding wheels on a google image search that just look awesome, then they're either super expensive (which I could guess really) or just not available anywhere.

Need to get a set soon before I spend my wheel money on beer, whilst looking for wheels

AWBimmer - the ones on the link don't have a stepped lip (or doesn't look like they do)
Not
So keen on the step lip in this style, makes the centre look really small and therefore the wheel looks small

They certainly are.. I would stretch the budget to get a set of those on my car but I believe they were discontinued a while back.

Something about those BBS's that make your car rims/wheels look 2 inches smaller than if you bought ones without the lip.

Dat optical illusion...is it just me? Never been a fan of these kind of rims.

Yep I agree, to some extent.
The stepped lip definitely makes the wheel look smaller
