Default Help finding the right wheels

Hi guys,

I've been looking for a new set of wheels for a little while now but I wanted to get your guys's help to see if there are other options out there...

I like the M3 style wheels like this:



but of course there bolt pattern is not compatible with ours. I know there are adapters but I'm not sure how good they are...

I did find some really nice Work wheels (Schwert SC1 bp) that I think i like even better.




I'm not sure how I feel about the lip, i was wondering if anyone knew of some wheels that looked like this but without the lip. Not that i'm complaining, would love to have the SC1's, just want to make sure i've checked out all the possibilities.

I'll take any suggestions for other wheels as well.

Thanks guys!

To be totally honest, I don't have a huge budget...

I was originally hoping to spend around 2k on the wheels; but i really like the SC1's so I would have to go a little higher for them (I think they go for 2.8-3k ish)

The only other wheels that i like (so far) are:

vossen vvs-083



and vvs-cv1





I'm really starting to consider the cv1's since they have the deep concave that i like...

any other idea's?

I personally like the works and vossen wheels. But how about the new Ace convex wheels? A member on here just got them in the gunmetal color and a buddy of mine got them in black. The rear wheels are really concave. Just throwing ideas out there for you. http://www.acealloywheel.com/BMW-M-N...er_1_1037.html
