Just canceled an order I had with Tirerack for my set of street rims/tires. I'll probably use them to order again. My top choice for wheels remains the BBS RK 16x7s. I've decided that the Mugens, Volks, and SSIs are too pricey at the moment, especially with my plans to by an M3 in a couple of years. I know the RKs weigh about 15.4lb/wheel, so compared to stock there's little difference. Can anyone recommend other wheels in the same price range? ($210) Looks do matter somewhat, but more important is a good, strong, lightweight wheel. And it's absolutely impossible to find 215/45/16 tires, so any tire recommandations would be great as well.

 

as for a good wheel in that price range, I don't know of any..

but for tires, I have 215 45 16 on my spoon 16 x 7's I have the Falken Azenis tire and I love em...good choice for street tire w/ track days too....not too pricey of a tire, I got em for $89 each, but look to spend about 110 on them...I got a great deal locally

 

For $210, you can get nice 15" rims... well, never mind. You will either have to folk over more or stick with your stock rims. Also, it is my understaning that even though BBS is a quality company, the rims tend to bend easily.

 

you can sell your rims for like 700 bucks. that would be like adding 165 to each wheel.
