Yay or nay on these wheels?

I'm throwing around the idea of getting some new 18" wheels to replace the stocks instead of doing the whole spacer thing since the price difference would be about $500. 19s would look nice but a) I wouldn't be able to re-use the tires and b) not sure I'd want the ride quality to get worse, it feels pretty perfect now.

Looking at the Niche Targa wheel in gunmetal, what do you guys think?
They come in an 18x8 ET40, so would be equivalent stance to stock wheels with 11.35mm front spacers and 12mm rear spacers which should be perfect.

It's a safe selection (they look good) if you're going for exclusivity I'd go with a different wheel.

Niche is the same manufacture as MHT and ADV1.

Take it as you will.

Good looking wheels!!! So do you think 18X8 with ET35 would also fit front and rear???

Yes, but I dont think they make a ET35 offset that fits BMWs.

So looks like Im going to have to pass on these wheels...they look great but they are 4lbs heaver than stock...16lbs for all 4 and Ive read with wheels, each pound equals to 6x or 7x in weight on the vehicle, so it would be like adding 96lbs - 116lbs to the car. No thanks.

I'm now looking at wheels that are 19lbs-20lbs in weight, would be somewhat similar to dropping 120lbs - 140lbs in weight off the car, which could actually be noticeable acceleration wise.

Awesome thanks for the information. BBS SR is around 23 I believe, was concerned about my winter setup. Not as critical as a summer set but didn't want to go crazy heavy.
