RI-D's are very cool, but very expensive. Price point is north of 8k. HRE's featured on BigLares VO 1M are stunning in person.

Ever heard the saying: if it isn't broken, don't fix it? The reason you're struggling is that the car already comes with very stylish, great-looking wheels.

I was about to ask what is wrong with the stock wheels. Maybe just a different shade like gun-metal and that's it for me. Till today I did not see better ones on 1M. Just my opinion.

HRE P43's are pretty awesome. I'd stay away from Morr...
I was a part of their original group buy on the VS7's and as soon as I bent 2 of them Carlos and morralloys disappeared and started pitching Alufelgen. I was told they'd work on getting me a pair of VS7 rear's and they were never heard from again. As soon as this production run goes dry, current owners who need replacements will get screwed as well. |

I think the VS_ series look great, and were relatively lightweight. If you plan on driving your car I would buy 2 sets, as you may not be able to get a replacement 6 months later (or ever). I have 4 beautiful wheels in my basement that cost me $2k at group buy price and are now nothing more than paper weights because the company doesn't exist unless a new product is being released in place of previous ones. Your money is better spent on a company with some inventory/longevity. |

I experienced the same dilemma until I found these:
I ordered them today - I like that the OE center caps fit to retain a somewhat OEM look. I love love love the stock wheels, but wanted something wider and lighter. I'll post up some pics when I get 'em mounted.. in the spring. |

Ditto, it's hard to top the wheels that come with it. However, I do wish they were a little darker so I am considering spraying them gunmetal...but like you, I can't find anything that looks really much better.

Here are some wheels to consider . We tried them all on 1M and it's hard to pick one set over another as they all look so good

I think these 20's would look beautiful... Breyton GTSR-M. The rear concave design is fantastic. however might look better with a BMW center cap
