Ok well i made a decision and went with some 16x7 wheels instead of the 17's..i think the car will handle a little better while autocrossing with them instead of the 17's because i bought a 1.25 lowering kit. here's the style i got they wiegh 14lbs each, not too bad considering the price... They come mounted and balanced with lugs locks and key for $550 shipped...


if someone can photoshop them on an fc that would be great...

When buying wheels for a FC you MUST get wheels with a lip on it. Wheels without lips look way tacky and cheap. I would say that the wheels on a car make up about %70 of how the car looks. The right set of wheels can change a way a car looks dramatically. Here is a pic of my car with my new wheels on it. 17x9 in the rear and 17x7.5 up front. with 38mm offset all around.

I like the stock wheels on the BMW 7series. The lip on the wheels are sweet.
