Default Wheels for a decent price

Whats up guys. Before We know it spring is going to be here and spring time is rim time! I really am not looking to get murdered for a set of rims because i had an e39 before and spent 5gs on a set of 19" hamann chrome wheels and kept them on for only 2 months and are sitting in storage right now so im looking to keep it a little on the cheap side now. I'm looking to buy 20" wheels for around $1500-2000 with tires. I dont want the bend-oh-so-easy rims but decent quality. If anyone knows any places or can show me some pics of what have and what they spent i would greatly apprecaite it. By the way my custom sound system is getting installed Wednesday and I will try to post pics up. Its going to be really intense looking to hit around 150db with two 12" audiobahn subs in a 5.0 cu ft box. Anyways Let me see those pics!!!(I've had my eye on the LD1 imitations but i'm not yet sure!)

Default 20's

Our least expensive 20" package for the car is $2400 plus shipping with the Mille Miglia F20. Unfortunately, they are not black spinners.

I think you meant to say "fortunately, they are not black spinners" .

Definitely look to get something used at that price point and get better quality rims that way. If you really like spinners, go for it but you won't find many for sale on our forum here in the classified. However, personally not my taste and I think they're going out of style from what I read.

As others have said 2gs is def a used price. Maybe go buy a few local rim shops, sometimes they let guys sell their wheel/tire packages there. That also may be a way for you to unload those hamanns!

As far as the spinner thing goes, if its not Davin, theres not really too much of a point, now that I see idiots put the add-on kits on Lincoln Town Cars, and Honda Accords!!

mikeyboy, what Hamann wheels do you have just sitting in your garage? I have a friend who is looking to get a set of 19s for his E46 and he's a big Hamann fan. If they are PG2s or HM2s, he will be soooo interested! Lemme know if you're interested in selling.
