Default BMW M3-Style Replica Wheel?

im looking to get a very similar wheel to the NEEZ QD7 but cant justify parying 6k for the real thing. anyone have any pics of similar rims on 350s or 370s that might be at a reasonable price? what is the closest replica of this rim? i dont like forgestars, vmr's are ok. p40s look pretty close, anything closer?

heres the neez next to an older vmr. neez is the one not mounted to car.

The Avant Garde F310 & M310 come to mind. Very reasonably priced. Dunno the quality first hand though.

the F14s are the way to go.

the only quality option mentioned too i might add.
I can attest to them being extremely light, and offer some major convex as well.
I run a F14 in 20x12 with a 325 25 20 tire and am still at the same weight as the factory 17" rear wheel and tire.

Major wheels.
5 week wait for build time, but tons of colors to choose from.

My thread doesnt have pics yet, this members does:

he went deep concave out back too.

+1 on all of it. We're a Forgestar distributor, btw.

The Forgestar F14 weighs about 18 lbs in 18x10.5 sizing.

do those advant's come with a less concave option? ballpark on price?
the forgestars have a nice width to the spokes but they are not oval enough for me between the spokes.

im kinda goin for this look

OP, the last wheel you post looks to be BBS, and theres a Varrstoen copy of them available.

They are made in China, etc. and are only a touoch cheaper than Forgestars, look exactly like the picture, but are heavier than F14s.

If youre just in it for looks, then roll these, several vendors, several threads, fitment threads etc.

the varstoens are nice, but im looking for a wheel with no lip like the f14s. i also need them to be over 10.5" wide and preferably 18's. i may get the vmr 710 in 19x11, (really wish they made an 18x11) and get some ccw c2k's down the line.

what? you dont want wheels that explode?

you could also do a spacer with stud exchange to 5x120 and run the BMW wheels..

they only make them for BMWs or VWs, so youd want an adapter spacer, and ive seent them in person, the concave is SICK.
