Depends- do you have a body kit?

Without knowing that I like 847r most.

I see that you went with the full polished centers, how hard are they to keep clean. I had iforged sprints on my M3 in brushed aluminum, the centers were easy to clear but the lip was a b!tch.

845r, full polish, thats a great choice! My absolute favorite wheels! Those puppies are going to be pretty expensive, well over 6k.

If you put a clear coat over the polished centers will it be easy to clean. I know a couple people that have hre's and iforged that say the polished centers were sooo hard to keep clean, but i dont think they had a clear coat over them. Yea they are more expensive then i thought (with tires 7300-7500) but i figure the wheels are the most important part of the exterior, they can make or break the car! Now i just have to decide what i want to put on hold so i can get them.

no need to spend that much to get nice wheels but i think the 845 will be the nicest with the kit cause they are trhe simplest and the kit is pretty simple and sleek

HRE will always clear coat its polished wheels. It will actually make it much easier to clean and keep clean. Once a wheel is clear coated, you can take care of it the same way you take care of the paint on your car.

Whatever you decide, be sure to post pics once you get them installed!

It is a little excessive, but i have yet to find a set of wheels that i really love for the car. Before i was considering 20"volk gt-c's then it was 20" iforged aero', but both of those two everyone seems to have and i like to be origional and i only know of one person who has 840 series on their Z.(hes up a couple posts)

All of them look great. Not a fan of polished wheels on a sports car though, maybe Brushed or painted???

They all look sweet - my choice would be the 845's. You can't go wrong with the way any of those three look and the 845's would be the easiest to clean. Plus i also think the design would look best with the vertex kit.

Yea i have to agree with you i think i will go with brushed finish on whichever ones i go with. I have eliminated the 841's becasue i know of two people that have them. So now its down to the 845, and the 847, its such a tough decision but i think ill be happy with whatever set i go with. Thanks again guys for the suggestions.
