M6 Gran Coupe

I found them on Ebay for about $1400. They have a 2 inch chrome front lip, 3 inch rear lip. They are made by a company called Modular Wheels in Miami. I have heard some bad stuff from about the company (the seller, not the manufacturer) though so I am a little skeptical (especially considering I just got screwed on a set of 20 inch black LDR's for $2600).

They look like Radenergie R-20's to me. In which case $1400 would be a smokin deal provided they are new and actually fit your car.

Nay.

Thats just too many spokes for my taste. I like wheels with less spokes and wider spokes. 5-6 spokes prefferebly. The wheels that X-tian posted look very nice.

Not a big fan...sorry plus the skepticism pertaining to the company/retailer would definitley light up a big questions mark for me.

what you said in your post....'i have heard some bad stuff about the company....'
that is what I was referring to, not anything that I have heard personally. But if you have done the reserach and the company seem reputable then I think you should go for it because that is a grreeaatt price. Personally I like the look of the HREs on the SLs and some RT rims including the new monolite ones on the adjacent thread (while I am writing this

) but I am not a fan of the RT hub cap, but these will definitely set your car a part from the others
