OK, I have some more answers for you.
Offsets are going to be 35.
As for the 17" wheels I can do them in 17"x9". I would like to find out what tire you are using with the 17" wheel and we can figure out how aggressive we can go with the fitment.
I will have a listing of available finishes soon and I will share all that information for you too.

Interested, Pm a price on both size and available finishes please. Also can flat center caps be used on this particular setup?
secondly, what projected sized wheels are recommend on these wheels? Super-Lap version available?
One other question, can the rear possible fit a 10" wheel, I know it's a apples to oranges in terms of fitment but E9x M3's TE37 has an ONE inch increase of wheel width and it would be nice same awesome to have the same width increase for our cars, thanks.

MBWorld Fanatic!
can you pm me the price on the super laps 18x9.5, 10.5? and the te-37 18x9, 10 formula silver?
is that red sticker optional?
and are the offsets going to be specific to this car as I don't think 35 will work.

It won't work for the rear on a 9.5" wheel (25mm more aggressive than stock) or 10" wheel (32mm more aggressive than stock).
It may "fit" on a front 8.5" wheel, but it won't be optimal (16mm more aggressive than stock).

I'm sorry, 9.5" and 8.5" are available in 40 offset. I can custom order them in any offset and bolt pattern but I need to order 20 sets. If I get orders for 10 sets I would cover the next 10 sets myself. I can't put myself out on 80 VOLK wheels by myself in order to get the hubcentric and custom offset. I will put up the money for 40 of them so if you guys want to get together and we can put a special order in with everything 100% how you would want them. That's the best that I can do.

9.5" ET40 is still bad for the rear. That's like slapping a 20mm spacer on the stock wheel.

Let me ask you. What would the ideal offset be for you?

If you guys want to do a custom order I can do 10" rear and I can do it in the SL's which would be the way to go I think. The 19" wheels will be around 18 lbs. and the 18" wheels will be around 17 lbs. The pricing will also be very aggressive on them.
If we decide on 18's
18"x10" 17lbs. each
18"x8.5" 17lbs. each
Price probably less than $3000.00 a set

Great Question! 
In my opinion, anything resulting in +7mm to +10mm over stock on a 1/2" larger wheel would be ideal front or rear. (E.g. I have a set of track wheels coming in 8.5" ET44, 9.5" ET53.)
In my opinion, a 10" rear is not needed for our cars.
- Something that does not screw with the suspension geometry of the car in a big way.
- Something that adds a touch of aggressiveness without sticking out too far.
- Something that allows the use and clearance of 245 front tires / 275 rear tires at any acceptable ride height without the fear of "rubbing".
