WHICH 20S SHOULD I GO WITH??
I have been rim shipping and I have come across three designs that I like very much. The three wheels are Donz Hoffa, Donz Messina, and Donz Bonnano. I would like to get one of those wheels in either black or alloy finish. Does anyone else have some suggestions of wheels to check out??
http://www.donzwheelz.com/catalog.php
My question is for some one who is on a limited budget, do you think the Donz Messina and hoffa's are worth the extra cash. The messina's go for 4800 wit tires, while the bonnanos only go for 2300 with tires. What do you guys think??

the messina's look tight, don't limit yourself by not evaulating every possibility. I set up a text document where I list all of the stuff I like, the price where I saw it the cheapest, and maybe a few posts about the items.
Its a good way to keep track of stuff in my opinion. I haven't even put wheels on it yet because I've been taking notes on exhaust and suspension stuff. There's a thread in the m5 group purchase for some sweet wheels you should check out.

Not my kind of wheels but Bonnanos looks ok imho. The others you named will not look good on the Bmw. Again, this is just me...

I read in the "some pointers for newcomers..." thread and the administrators ask that you not waste threads on questions like this. You should follow the rules! We here at M5board consider ourselves to busy for such feeble chat. No one here really cares what you pick, as long as it's not as nice as ours. This is a serious forum with profound topics such as; if a tree falls in the woods and you did not see it fall...Did it make a sound? Ask questions such as; do these wheels make me look gay? Or, if a fellow M5 driver passes by and fails to acknowledge my existence should I turn around, follow him home to pummel him/her with witty rhetoric such as; You insulent dolt how dare you pass me and not salute. I require an apology followed by excessive flatulence. Ask what not my country does for juan, but what does juan do for my country? Furthermore, an acceptible question to ask would be; what is this incoherant psycobabble have to do with wheels? My advise to you is; to start drinking heavily until you pass out. Then drink more. There will be no charge for my advice. However, on your deathbed you will receive total...something, I don't know. Why do you keep asking me these questions? I can't help everyone. Oops gotta go it's medication time.
