Wheel brand opinions
Just wondering what you guys think are some reputable wheel brands. I know BBS and HRE are up there (strethcing my budget on these) and so are the jap brands (Rays, Work, Enkei, SSR etc) but I prefer the euro styles as the M3 is a euro car. It definitely has to be forged as I want it to be as light as OEM if not lighter and stronger. What are your thought on BC Forged? I just find it hard to trust something made in Taiwan (no offence). Any other brands? (Don't even mention ADV1)

People who refer HRE to the same level of BBS/Rays needs to learn about what actually goes into making a wheel and the company behind it..lol

I would go with Rays, Work, WEDS, or ADVANs and be done with it. These wheels range from cast to forged and for the price they are hard to beat.

I would just save for the best ones instead of worrying about getting something lesser.

Great wheel... price is fair (for what it is), light, looks good, sizes and offsets are decent... but there are some limitations. The rear offset is too aggressive for a 295mm rear tire in the proper diameter (295/35/18 or 295/30/19). Not a huge deal in the 18" version because there are very few tires available in 295/35/18. The front 9.5" et22 wheel will require a 3 to 5mm spacer if you have KW coilovers and run 275mm tires (my preference). They do make an et15 version but I think that is only in the TE37SL but I'm not sure.

Based on your signature, you do not have KW coilovers. Your JRZ's have more inner clearance. 265/35/18 on 9.5 et22 will also require spacers with KW's depending on the tire (some tires run narrower/wider). In the rear 285/35/18 works great no matter what your suspension set up. The offsets are spot on for running 285's. I just prefer to have the option to run 295's because I'm optimistic that some of my favorite tires will be available in 295/35/18 in the future. None of this is a big deal. It hasn't stopped me from buying TE37's (have had 2 sets in the past). I just point it out as a weakness / FYI for the OP.

I love the BBS CH-R on E9x and they are very affordable. Unfortunately they are also heavy. I don't know about this HRE badmouthing up there but I couldn't have been more impressed with my HRE P40S and the service of HRE as a company.

I'm an HRE fan. I love their SC monoforged series for a street wheel. Custom fitment and finish. There are a lot of players out there, find a style you like that's in your budget and do some homework.
