Which Wheels for the new M-Coupe

I am picking up a short term lease on an M-Coupe and want to throw some cheap wheels on the car.

The car is silver and I am looking at these 2 wheels, please let me know...

1. ZCP Replica wheel in hyperblack (Nice OEM look)

2. Axis Penta (3 in. rear lip)

OEM ZCP's for $1600.
The replicas look horrible once you look at them both side by size, and I'm not a fan of Axis.

I'll have to look harder because I haven't seen the OEM wheels so cheap, let me know if you see any.

axis is ok, had some 19" Sevens 8 years ago but they bent and cracked and were crap...I was hoping they have gotten better.

CSL replica wheels will look great. There is a gray M Couple running around town with them, looks really sharp! I don't think you would be disappointed if you got them. I personally would go with the painted silver finish rather than the 'hyperblack' or 'black chrome' look.

IMO:

Axis are crap.

ZCP are way over done (but they do look good). About 75% of the Z4MC wheel swaps have been ZCPs or some replica.

Check out the SSR Comp-Hs, they are good looking LIGHT wheels.

I went with Volks (TCKline's version). They're not cheap, but light as h3ll and solid:

wow, the volks looks sweet!

I am not in a rush but hate the stockers on the M coupe so the search will probably continue. The wheels above are just some deals I've found but I probably will keep looking.

thanks guys for the input

hey buddy,

I see you picked up a new toy, thought you wanted to get back into a supercharged s2000?

Look at the Work wheels, I'm looking at another set as the ones on my yellow s2k really held up pretty well and super strong.

The Volk TCkline that was posted looks hot too if your car is a dark color

how's biz down there?

yeah, I figured I already did an S and you can never go wrong with an M.

plus I am getting a killer deal on the car...under 600mo. with 1400 miles allowed and 0 out of pocket

I am primarily looking for a used set of wheels as I will only have the car for a year and am not too picky.

Business is good, there is good money in gambling!
