ok guys, I want your opinion. A while back I hit a pothole really hard and bent both my right side wheels. So instead of getting two replacements (~1100 dollars), I was thinking about getting a whole set of aftermarkets. I was thinking about BBS (which ones are best?), SSR (integrals, GT, or competition?) or IFG A5. Do you think all of these wheels are at least as strong as stock? If you have any pictures of an m3 with any of these wheels, please post them or email me with them. I appreciate any responses. Thanks,
BRAD

There's a section for Wheel and Tires. You can see the IFGs at their site. Also, Supreme Power Parts has a good wheel section with pics of most aftermarket wheels. Tire Rack is great -- if they sell those wheels -- because you can see the price, shop for tires and get a look at the wheels (even, sorta, on the car).

You might want to consider a couple of other things. You can probably get the 2 bent wheels straightened for $100/each (or less) depending upon how bad; if you're in for a new set, consider going away from a staggered setup, you can rotate the wheels for better tire wear; you might want to jump to 18" wheels (more for show, than performance); and if you can afford forged wheels, you might also want to look at Fikse. In my view, it may be the best out there.
