Looking for mesh style wheels

Like the title says, looking for a mesh style wheel in preferably 18x8 and 18x9. I like the D-Force EMpower wheels but they dont come in 18x8 and 18x9. I like the Work Brombachers as well. Any help is appreciated!

BOOMER!

Take a look at the Alufelgen CS7's. They don't have a lip like the empowers, but the design of the center section is much nicer (IMO).

Thanks! I'm glad I dont have the funds to buy wheels right now, otherwise I would have a set that I don't like. I've changed my mind at least 50 times in the last two weeks. The lip is a must in my current mindset. LOL

I thought I read these are 18x8.5 ET45 front & 18x9.5 ET48 rear not 18x8 ET45 front & 18x9 ET48 rear

Very interested if these are available in those sizes! I too thought I read they were only available in 8.5 and 9.5 but maybe I am wrong. Prices? Any modification needed?

I hear you on that one. I only found three sets I liked and were in the right size (two were OEM bmw wheels) and in the end it came down to price.

Beyern mesh might be worth a look too (assuming they fit a 1 series), they have a lip and (IMO) are slightly nicer looking than the d-force. http://www.beyernwheels.com/BMW_whee...n_typemesh.php
