Default New DPE wheels

FROM DPE:

In the never ending quest for originality and innovation, DPE tries to defy the status quo by exposing the automobile enthusiast community with new options in hopes of setting new trends and not following old ones.

We at DPE would like to thank the members of E46fanatics for your continued support through our inception almost 3 yrs ago. No matter how large our company grows, we will continue to improve our customer service and most importantly never forget our foundational grass roots here.

With that said, we like to present our latest innovation here on E46fanatics.com first and nowhere else ... GT 7 Chrome Shadow finish with BRUSHED LIP.

Pricing has yet to be determined as this is just an introduction.







----------------------------------------



this one is in old finish but the new style.
STYLE: LS15
FINISH: titanium asphalt

This one is not bad. I have not been a fan of the DPE rims because the face is too flat. Some may like it , just not me. This one is a bit more interesting though.

I like that DPE is experimenting with different finishes and such, but not feelin the brushed lip. I like the shadow chrome finish, but I guess I am just a hi polish lip kinda guy

The 18s start in the 2400-2500 range for 2pc models. Not that exopensive at all.

Although the brushed lip maybe be my personal aesthetic choice, I have applaud DPE for consistently striving to "carve their niche" which is certainly innovative and experimental finishes. We sell DPE and I can barely keep track of their finish offerings! LOL
