Is there a cheaper alternative to 360 Forged Mesh 8's ?
I totally love Catch M3's E90, hand downs one of the best E90's ever. Well another killer E90 is the red Beast done by Ind, that is awesome too.
I am looking to get into an E90 next month, and first thing I want to get are new shoes, lowering, and window tint. I am having the hardest times finding the right design of wheels I like, but seeing Catch M3's car, the more and more I look, I keep going back to digging his rims the most. They are 360 Forged Mesh 8's I believe ? But the price on those babies with tires is out of my league now to be honest. Does anyone else make a tire that is somewhat close to that design for a more value price ? |

HRE is not cheaper. There are a lot of 3 piece wheel companies that have mesh alternatives. Too many to list, but do a search for forged wheels, and just pick one. I would suggest e-mailing Peter @ Wheel Experts, and asking him. He can hook you up. He really is a wheel expert.

I am assuming that the OP is asking about a 3-piece mesh wheel, not a monoblock mesh wheel. HRE's 3-piece wheels typically cost more. I bought my 360 Forged Mesh 8's for $4,900.

I like the design of the 360 Meshed 8's in that brushed aluminum look, just seeing if there is a similar wheel for much less from another company ? |

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Thanks for the link. But it is 70+pages long, I just scrolled through like 10 pages and no pics of these wheels yet ? And what about the price ? I did see the RG4 model pics, but those look lame I am sorry to say. They are form the old gen M cars, don't fit the look of the new E9x series in my opinion. |

Yeah, unfortunately it will be hard finding what you want for that cheap. You might get lucky and find a used set somewhere.

For now I am digging the VMR V710. I hope they are not crap quality for the good price ? With tires can be had brand new for under $2k

Velocity Motoring's wheels are a very good, inexpensive mesh type wheel. They may not be the lightest wheels, but they look good, and they are in your price range with tires.

In short the price is $3750 (edit: for a set of 4!), pics here, group buy closing within a week or so. Colors not finalized but there will be many choices. Hope this helps.
