Accepts or offers BMW center caps. If D-Force can do it, somebody else can too, only in better E90 sizing. Basically, if someone was asking $100 more per wheel than the D-force 18x9.5, but it was available as a 10.5 for the rear as well and didn't require spacers, I'd be on it like a cat on a junebug.

I also think paying over $3500 for a set of wheels is nuts when I can call CCW and get whatever I want made for around $3000, or even less. I like the volks too but I just don't like the design on this car, same deal with the Advans.

Cast vs. forged doesn't matter to me one bit, but a good design does. I have put many "crappy" sub-$150 cast wheels through 10 different kinds of hell on a racetrack and never had an issue with any of them because they were designed well for the application.
