My bad. Yes no stock wheels at all. price does not matter. I would buy used or new. What i was meaning was it's not going to be for show so a $3k wheel prob wouldn't be for me .and i would like to stay 15-17" nothing bigger. Thanks

I would say street lites, TT2s, OE wheels, maybe some ZR1 or spyder wheels frOm 6liter eater .. Or some aftermarket BMW wheels ? Or used CCWs or FISkES .. Idk it's kind of hard to pick out wheels for some ones car .. Lol I would say the absolute best choice , is gonna be YOURs lol

Used ccws or fikse are going to run you around 2500 with OK tires, and a lil extra for shipping.your best bet is tt2s. There cheaper look killer on a ws6 and can run a 315 in the rear.also HP evos look great in 19 s and are a lil cheaper.I would stay away from OE wheels. You can have something a lot better for a lil more cash.

What is good for the street is not necessarily good for the strip and vice versa ... !

I've got a set of Fikse Profil 5 wheels/tires I'll sell you for $2,100 shipped and paypal'd. 18x10 fronts and 18x11 rears with nearly perfect Pilot Sport 265's on the front and some Pilot Sport 295's on the rear that are in pretty good shape.

Eric is going to sell his Bogarts. Only used for the track no street driving at all if I recall. He might even have a used set of Billet Specialty Street Lites.

PM ssvert99 and ask him how much if you are interested.
