If you like those 843s, I'd recommend you go with Angstrom. They are nearly the same wheel for half the price. These are 2 piece forged. I ordered mine a while ago, should be here this week.

This pic is with brushed/clear ceramic coating, but you can get high polish too. Do us a favor, and dont get chrome, no matter what wheel you get!

right now, SPP is the main distributor. or check out http://www.angstromwheels.com/.

Yo T,

I think the 840R's will look very nice and clean on the 55!! Although that looks like what you had on the E46

547R or 847R. The 840R is nice, but it looks messy.

I know how you feel, the wait can be painful! Just keep in mind that it is not going to take anywhere near as long as you waited for the M3!!
