Aftermarket wheels

I am contemplating switching the standard 20" on my Alpine White 2015 650 GC M Sport but I am having a very hard time deciding with so many choices available.

I am leaning towards wheels with more spokes or a slightly busier design and I am also not sure what colour/finish to get.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks.

How much are you looking to spend? If you can spend 5-6k (with tires) there are several forged options. Stance has thier VS line and you can get any custom finish you want.

Thanks! Yes, lowered on H&R springs. I have a DIY write up posted on this forum for them. The front lip is from Maxton Design.

No problem! They are the RF1.3 in brushed titanium. Here’s the invoice. I ordered through AR_Motorwerkz and they were great. If I did it again, I’d ask for the front offset to change just a tiny bit. The front wheels are a few mm inside the fenders whereas the back wheels are even with the fender which I prefer. Not enough of a bother to make me get new wheels or spacers though.

Is ure car a Xi model ? Mine is ..I know theres very limited resources to lower with a xi model.. Also I have the same issue with my aftermarket wheels ..they sit the same way....both of my buddies think that it makes the car more staggered looking .because I've been contemplating on spacers for the front

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

What is strange though is when I go to different sites that sell Vertini wheels, they never come up as wheels recommended as a choice for my car. Is it because of the slight offset issue you mentioned?

Yes my car is an xDrive AWD car. I wouldn’t even say it’s an “issue” for me about the offset. It’s so slight, I hardly notice it most of the time.

No problem! I’m not sure why they wouldn’t come up in a search. They definitely fit my car fine!
