One of my friends had stern ST-1s on his car, i love those wheels but they are far from lightweight, but still lighter then our 18s, if they didnt look so good i would have gotten rid of them a while ago haha

I am jealous though.
I've been prowling BMW forums as they seem to have great deals on used wheels all the time.

are they just for the track? cuz those ssr's look funny on the car cuz the spokes are so tiny and not many of them. but for just track they look fine, but id never roll around with those on in the streets

These are 24 pounds each not a bad looking rim might I add(Bremmer Kraft BR01) . I can get these for $660 shipped
These are supposed to be light weight as they are labeled a "racing rim" but they don't have the stats on them(Motegi Racing MR118). $630 shipped
They were both 18x8s. Looks like I can't get the pics to load up but you can google those part numbers if your interested. That should be a solid deal.

Got my next mod picked out whenever my current tires wear off.
