    I think the wheels that you currently have are the best... imho.

    Take the Aro, the other ones are too similar to the ones you currently have.

    why are you changing? style? prefer 18"? weight? I personally like the wheels ya got, especially that they are 17" staggered. I myself am forced, due to limited funds, to install the RD2 wheel from Racing Dynamics using an 18" application. However, if you are willing to spend the money for a set of Fikse wheels, then you can pretty much consider EVERY wheel made, and if that is true, there are many wheels out there that offer weight properties and style equal to; if not better than, the Fikse line-up. I mean any wheel machined from a block of forged aluminum is gonna be top-notch. and for the record...I'd take the FM5 finished w/ a black powder-coated/anodized center

    Fikse FM5's, although I have to say they're not much different to me than what you're running now. I've got a pic of the Fikse FM5's on an E34 M5 and I have to say it looks great -I'll try to find it and post.

    Aro, I've seen simmmilar wheels to fm5 on a 328i and they were looking great too. By the way does anyone have Alpina wheels on their rides, If yes how are they?
