Time to Buy Rims

I want the widest offset possible(9.5 in back if possible)
It needs to be in black with no polished lip, or if it comes with a possibled lip, it better be a FAT LIP

Any suggestions are welcome, as long as it fits my C36 stock without rubbing, fender rolling is ok, but i prefer not.

Some ideas are Carlssons(Hard to find)
And MMR GT-1's(i would powdercoat the lip)

My limit in price is about...$900 for a Set of 4 because i WILL BUY USED\

SUGGESTIONS?

With $900 its gonna be hard to come by some nice wheels.

I would look into iForge, or DPE wheels. Its gonna cost you but they make custom wheels, to fit color, size, offset, everything to your specs.

You can find carlssons in good condition for under 1000.00 MMR also. I would go with the Carlssons. Forged wheels are going to be more but worth it.

Hey Bagel...

Dont stress about fender rolling. With a slight metal tuck you open up your options to a wider wheel. It isnt a big deal. There are shops that will do it do you. Or you can do it yourself with some patience and a baseball bat.

I dont own you model of car so I dont know what is underneath but from my experience I would think that it isnt much different from anything else out there.

Consider the fender roll and start looking for some nice wheels.
