I have been combing the forums for someone to simply say that they have a plug-and-play wheel/tire combo for the 135i that will support the most rubber on a pretty standard car. Seems the easiest question in the world, yet I can't find a thread to answer it.

Sure, there are lots of mentions of 18" x 8" Volks and similar to go around, but that is leaving a lot of potentially fit-able rubber on the table. A Volk 8" on the front and 9" on the back with the right offset would be fine, but doesn't exist from what I can tell. You can get the Superleggera setup like that but it is heavy. The lighter wheels are all 18"x8" all around.

I like the look of these wheels quite well, actually. I've seen some I like a little better, but the pricing on these is also quite good and good quality ratings.

In short - I'd buy these in a heartbeat if they were available today. I'm probably willing to give myself another two months to buy wheels/tires since I won't get track time before that. The run flats have to go soon, and wheels get purchased then too.

Yes, make them and let us know how to buy them asap!
