how or where to get a good deal on rims
Im looking for 19" rims for my C32 and just wondering where’s the best place to get a deal on some nice rims.. I want something with a nice lip but not just sure if I want to spend the 4 or 5 grand on HRE rims... What are my other options on nice quality rims that will fit the car? Are HRE rims worth the cost? Can I fit 19x 8.5 in the front if I have h&R coilovers or do I have to go with 19x8?
Thanks for your help in advance

19" TSW Bremma's
Go with the 19" TSW Bremma's, and get them through Neal (blackc230Coupe) who posted above. I bought the wheels and tires (mounted) from him and he shipped them to a local tire shop in NC. They were balanced and in perfect condition! It was the absolute best purchase I have made for my 03 c32. I get complements on my wheels everywhere I go.
I first looked at the HRE's also, but I am very happy with the TSW's and you wont believe the price. Good luck!
Thanks again Neal

I will try to remember to do that. I received those valve stem caps, thanks again for the good customer service and follow up.

05c55 & BlackC230Coupe - Nice rides !
Neal, I'll be PM ing u to get info on those TSWs. I just want 18s, not 19.
05C55 - Did u get the center caps separately ? I thought TSWs have their logo on the center. Btw, did any of u paint ur calipers ? Ever seen white calipers on white C32 ? Too pimpin ? My rear calipers are cast, need to paint em to keep from rusting !! Thanks ! Jamoboy

BMW E30. I've turned to the dark side.
those are the first aftermarket wheels i've seen that i like. probably because they looke like stock AMG wheels. if they come in 18's i'd be pretty interested in them.

Neal,
Your price quote on those wheels is awesome. But since it's your lucky day, why dont u drop the price even more.. then it would be my lucky day as well
Btw, I visited a different MB dealer and this one will replace em for free. Good news for me.

Good deal ! I'll contact you again for the payment info.
Yeah, I told them that this is an AMG and rusted calipers are not acceptable. I'll paint em as soon as they're done with the job.

Neal's great. I'm waiting for my wheels but i'm sure I will be happy when I get them. If not I will make a trip to Florida and pay a visit to Neal. :v JK
Once I get them on the car I will post pics.
