European wheel brands?

I am familar with japanese wheel brands, but I am not really familiar with German wheel brands.

Can some of you list european wheel brands? I know a whew..

DPE... and what else?
I know popular german tuners make wheels too. ACS, hartge, etc..

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeLLLLLLLLLLLLp!

(reason im asking this is because I want to put on euro wheels instead of japanese.. few japanese vehicle owners laughed when I told them I want to put on Volks. )

Who cares where the wheels come from? As long as they look good to you.

they said putting on japanese wheels on german is funny.
I originally wanted volks... now It seems like I should stay away from it.

I could see what they are talking about though, nice BMW with a wheel that says made-in-japan.

no offense, its not the 1940's anymore and your friends aren't making the payment. I think certain styles of Volks would look great on an E90.

Like dmooreco said, do whatever you think looks good, forget what others have to say... they're not the one making payments on your car

To me, Volks look fine on a BMW




I had BBS LM's on my s2000 and it looked great, so who's to say Japanese rims should be on a japanese car and german wheels on german car.
