Getting my wheels has been a nightmare. Wheels were the first thing I ordered for my car, yet here I am...still rolling stock after 2 months! I first went with 19" Hyper black Linea Corse LC818s which showed up out-of-round. They took forever to get me replacements and I started getting pissed so I decided to change direction and go with something else. The Lineas were a bit too gaudy and I probably would have gotten tired of them quickly anyway so I guess in the end I'm glad I had a bad experience with them. Nothing really stood out for me...although I relaly like VMR mesh wheels, everyone has them. One day I came across an e90 on m6 replica wheels with a nice drop and it looked really clean with some aggressive spacers. I almost didn;t even realize they were m6 replicas, actually. I started looking into m6 reps and found out that most of the ones being sold these days don't have the black/gunmetal trim like the real m6 wheels (due to legal issues I'm guessing) and I'd probably have to get them powder coated for the look I want. Plus they aren't really that great in quality. So much for that idea...
Wheels definitely make the biggest impact on a car so I thought to myself, go big or go home! I wanted a style with either a nice deep lip (a bit of a dated look) or a deep, concave look (very popular these days). I like polished silver faces with black trim (like the m6 wheels) since it looks clean and matches my polished exhaust tips and black paint. I kept finding myself going back to the Vossen site and noticed their new super-concave collection. The CV2 caught my eye and had all the elements I was looking for. Unfortunately, they're only made in 20x9 and 20x10.5 which is super aggressive and more expensive than I hoped, but after I found some pics of an e90 on CV2s I was stoked and pulled the trigger. I'm happy with my choice and I'm sure they'll look sick...but of course, as soon as I placed my order, Alufelgen and Morr announced their new 19" diamond cut mesh wheels!
