Not custom, but light and cheap: D-Force BMW wheels.

yeah they dont have to be custom. I just cant find an 18x8. They are all 18x8.5.
I almost bought the Forgestars. Group buy for $999 but no 8 inch wheel, offsets were custom. Freeform made.
I would be fine with the stockers if they didnt weigh 25lbs.
anything under 20lbs.
z4m stock wheels = 18x8 42 18x9 30 so +/-6.3 mm on the offsets to be stock legal. If we just had .5 inch to paly with on width this would be easy.
O.Z. comes the closest with 18x8 40 18x9 40 missing by 4mm on the offset for the rears
thanks for the help

Chad-
Give Vorshlag a call. Terry and Amy Fair are autocrossers in Texas and nice people. He knows BMW's very well. MCoupe listings have largely dropped off the planet. He probably knows how to prep one though. And those wheels might be available but not listed on his site.

might even do a 10mm to give me 30.
Just didnt think aobut spacers in stock class which I guess is fine.
OZ's are simi cheap and light weight. Are they strong?

FWIW TSW is a division of Enkei and is an OEM wheel supplier to Toyota. Dunno if I'd question their durability...not really a lightweight wheel tho per se.
