Default Same here (sorta)

I would like to switch wheels, too, but I wouldn't know what to switch to, either. I kinda want to get some Racing Hart Evolution T5/T6 or whatever. HREs are *way* too expensive as are Oettinger etc. Not that I wouldn't mind having them.

Well, here are the one's I might consider:
Racing Hart Evolution
HRE (almost any design)
Oettinger
Projektzwo
Brabus monoblocks (hee hee)

I'm sure there are others but cannot think of them now. I'll wake up from my dream now.

Default I'd love to have them...

for track wheels! The RZ is good, but I preferred Ben's (deceased) Hamman's over those.

If cleaning is a major priority, the FM-5 should remain your top choice. The lack of fasteners will be critical here. I've yet to clean mine, so we'll see how difficult they prove to be, but everyone says it's a bear. Oh, well, I've already sold my soul... ;-) (thanks for the compliment)

I love my Fm/5s for the simple open look, lightness, and ease to clean.

Default I priced some for my Z3 and...

...I think they were around $700 each (in 17"). They're custom made, so you can specify width and offset (like Fikse, HRE, etc). Call or email and they'll quote you a price. They'll also do a package with tires pre-mounted, but they're tire prices aren't that great.<ul><li><a href="http://www.kinesismotorsport.com/">www.kinesismotorsport.com</a></li></ul>
