I’ve been getting kinda bored with my current setup… and I have been considering a new set of rims. I haven’t nailed it down to anything specific…but here are a couple I like. Breyton Spirits ![http://dtmautowerkes.com/images/spirit20a.jpg](http://dtmautowerkes.com/images/spirit20a.jpg) ![http://dtmautowerkes.com/images/spirit20k.jpg](http://dtmautowerkes.com/images/spirit20k.jpg) DPE’s ![http://www.dpengineering.cc/images/showroom/bmw/17.jpg](http://www.dpengineering.cc/images/showroom/bmw/17.jpg) Same style below, but i would get a lighter finish for the centers. ![http://www.dpengineering.cc/images/showroom/bmw/1.jpg](http://www.dpengineering.cc/images/showroom/bmw/1.jpg)+ my current setup: ![http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/location3.JPG](http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/location3.JPG) :gotme: ---

I like the first set, I had a darker set at first on my bmw but it made the car too dark overall, when i switched to the silver/polished alluminum it made the whole car look fresh, IMO go with the first ones! ---

I dunno, I think the wheels you’ve got are fine. I’d say leave the wheels and drop it about an inch and a half or so. Is that stock ride height? Of the two wheels you posted, I like the first better. ---

> [@dozer](#): > > Fikse, or kinesis… end of story. I agree^ but I do really like the DPE’s, I know of a couple dubbers out there with them, not very well known, but nice indeed :tup: How about a set of JLines? Just a thought… Jeller ---

I think they are both nice wheels and would suit the style of the car. The DPE style is more unique and a bit bolder with the sharp cut lines. The Breyton Spirits look tight in the multi-piece version. Get a polished, not spun finished, lip. That really makes the wheels stand out and has a sophisticated look to it. Definitely Not any Kinesis…:tdown: ---

Of those 2, the DPEs would look better. ---

I’ve always been partial to DPE. Although I thought I heard that IForged became DPE. If thats the case, you will probably be waiting months for your wheels. Nevertheless, DPE gets my vote. ---
