Motegi's are pretty heavy usually, but otherwise ok

That seat looks kinda tall. I know the previous owwner of my car had to beat the floor pan down some to get the ebay special bucket seats to fit.

Worse case scenerio i'm out a couple hundred bucks so i might just give em shot.
Like,how cheap are you talking on these Motegis?Are they offered in the correct width/offset for your car?
There's lots of options out there for 17" wheels in 5x120 for any budget.Being that you mentioned everything from Motegi to BBS,it's hard to tell what your budget is though,haha.

For the Motegis it's $1200 for wheels, tires, lug bolts, TPMS hardware(in other words, ready to go on out of the box) and shipping. My budget is about $2.5, so i know i have a lot of options. But why spend a lot of money if i don't need to? Everyone that actually owns a set says they're awesome, the only people that seem to have anything bad to say are the people that think they're for the "broke tuner" crowd. Honestly, I think they'll be fine to DD.

I don't think they're bad for a cheap DD wheel in terms of quality, but I've always disliked Motegi. A few of my old friends went through lots of Motegi wheels and I just never liked them for some reason. Have you considered buying used wheels by any chance?

Regardless, that's not bad.. $1200 for everything. I spent close to that much just on my tires, but that's a whole different ballgame.

Hence my surprise at such cheap wheels on such an expensive car. It's like wearing a tailor-made suit and flip flops. But I understand the sentiment of wanting to save money. BBS's are FAR outside your budget unless you're hitting the used market.

EDIT: I've got some Mille Miglias 17x8.5 5x120 (obviously) quite similar to these:



If you're interested. you'd be funding some Watanabes for the Ti.

Don't get me wrong, i believe in quality parts and i'll spend the money when it's worth it. If i wait to W2s to come in i could probably get a set of DECENT BBS(or equivelant) but i just can't justify spending that much money. It's my DD so i dont want to curb 4K worth of wheels lol
I think i'm going to order a set of the motegis Friday. If the asshats at Valley BMW ever get my adaptive headlight issue solved i'll be sure to do a mini review or something lol
