So....opinions on some new wheels

First, I'm think about picking these Rohana rotary forged wheels up since I learned my lesson on how crappy reps are. What you guys think? Just photoshopped.

I'd wait to fix your AC before getting the wheels.

That color combo looks similar to the 30 Years America Edition M3 and I'm not sure it's my particular taste:

Yeah it's crappy timing on the AC while I'm wheel shopping, I'll certainly be getting the AC checked out first. I know AC can get costly pretty quick and with spring coming around the corner here it's a must.

Also It's not particularly my style either, but I don't want clear wheels and not a huge huge fan of how black wheels just get lost further than a few feet away, I do like black just thinking about trying to leave my comfort zone and I'm a bit conflicted.

Not the greatest Photoshop here but these are the other wheels I'm looking at in black or bronze burst.

I like the top set (pic that says butler on it). Those wheels really compliment the aggressive stance and lines of the M4. I think they'll 'pop' a little too much on your setup.

I think the Niche M158 matte bronze would give you a sportier but tasteful look. Check them out.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of straight spoke wheels. Great looking wheels though, just not my Flavor. Also Quality is important to me. Also not saying that niche doesnt make a good wheel but I drive pretty aggressively.. The top wheel is a Vossen, middle is a Vorsteiner. both of which have VIA and JWL certifications. Vossen also carries a 5 year manufacturer warranty and a lifetime structural warranty which is impressive. I have bent/warped alot wheels in my day from mostly buying lower quality wheels and want a set I wont lol. I saved some cheddar this time so Im shopping around 2200 bucks. wheel shopping is tough :/

Yeah I love that wheel as well! I'm just being a wimp about the bronze and have never heard of Rohana. As much as I like it, I'm afraid to pull the trigger on them. Also I havent seen red and brushed bronze in person.

Honestly Im unsure, Red is such a tough color to buy wheels for and I think Red calipers would be too much. That being said though, Another reason Why I'm on the fence about the Rohana wheels is because they're thin spoke wheels which Does compliment the brakes and rotors and I dont have a BBK yet so you'd be mesmerized by the wheels till you see the garbage brakes and rotors behind them lol!!

I do plan on doing the BBK down the road though.

FWIW, I really dislike the bronze wheels on a red car. Just my opinion, which you asked for.

I kind of think bronze might take away a bit from that beautiful red, I would do colored BBK to accent some less flashy wheels, something like those Butlers

To be completely honest, I hated it at first (my wife wants me to do the bronze) but the more I look at it the more it grows on me. But I'm worried I'll order the bronze, install it and hate it. I normally don't ask for opinions but I'm having a real tough time. All the wheels I love are out of my price range and I don't want black, they just get lost after a few feet away. My max is $550 a piece, give or take a few bucks. All the wheels I keep seeing that I love are forged, I'm a on a rotary forged budget though. Oh life haha.

Yeah the wheels in the Butler photo are the Vossen HF-2s. The only wheels I like in black. But these wheels in particular I just realised I can't afford. Vossen has it backwards. The black with machined face is in my range but the all black is a custom finish which is more cheddar. Backwards.

Literally just bought M Performance orange BBK (370mm) front and rear for my 328 because of this. I picked up 19" HRE FF01 which I have yet to mount my Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on, but I know that with stock brakes it's going to look

I can't spend on BBK when I'm only driving a 428i GC, it got 4 pot front and sliding caliper back already...that's all good. All this expenses not going to happen if I'm not pushing 500 hp. ... lol.

Back on the wheels tho...I'm wrestled on a vff 106 or maybe a cheaper curva c42 (vff 103)
