Thank You.

As for the hottest wheel you will have to decide but, I could tell you that a 3 piece forged wheel will be your best bet.

As for the sizes here it goes:
245/35 Front W/ 20x8.5 Wheel
285/25 Rear W/ 20x10 Wheel

get forged, non-chrome wheels that are light, expensive and no bigger than 19" is my 0.02c. 265 oem width is ridic compared to M5 an M6 which run 285. You should try and match that and reap the rewards and it'll make sure that if performance is your goal you'll be taking a leap fwd. g/luck finding a good set

so subjective

but first is NO CHROME.

2nd is light light light

3rd unfortunately the 3 pieces wheels while attractive are usually a little bit heavy than single piece.

Then its totally up to you. Do you like a lot of spokes, large lips ... etc.

Using number 2 as a primary objective its tough to beat the CF rims. If that price point is too high then look for rims that are around the 20lb range each for 19s.
