Silver bbs or silver vmr. I think you cant go wrong with either, and at that point I would pick whichever is lighter .

I also like your current wheels now as well :tup:

DS2 I have these and don’t like them. LM’s…I’m not into 2-piece rim look any more.

I just bought 18" tires two weeks ago. If I didn’t buy the tires I would have bought LTW’s

I back RSs a ton. From that list though, CHs definitely.

I don’t know what your budget is like but fifteen52 has a new (quite affordable) line of fully custom 2pc wheels built to any width, offset and color for not much more than the BBS are new. I can put you in touch with people there if you’re interested. No, I’m not anyone that works for them, I just own their wheels and back the quality of them 110%

This is the Formula
