Have you considered Concavo wheels? There are currently three different designs

Here's what the 5 spoke and split 5 look like



And here is the multi spoke


I know incurve also makes concave wheels for the same price range. Good luck with whatever you decide to go with!

I love these new VIP Modular VRC13's. My favorite finish is the hyper silver and if you get the 9.5/10.5 setup, the concave looks really good. I mean really good. Its an aggresive setup, here's an example

since you had a bmw, you should be familiar with linea corse. They have a few concave style rims, ie: LC818

Check out the Nutek Bavaria (www.bavariawheels.com) or the Rohana wheels (www.rohanawheels.com). There are some killer styles and perfect Lexus fitments. Rohana just introduced the RC22 and RC26.

I'd recommend Lusso Forged but they're quite pricey. But Concavo seems to be the popular one on here.

Also check out the classifieds section for good deals on wheels. If you don't want Vossen you likely don't want Vossen replicas or copies either.
