Like the title says, what's the best looking performance wheel in your opinion? Preferably deep dish and staggered. Also are HRE wheels considered performance wheels? Does anyone know how much the HRE 441R weigh and cost? Thanks.

BBS anything. in an 18x8 or an 18x8.5 weigh around 9-12lbs.
HRE IS NOT A PERFORMANCE WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A SHOW WHEEL. BBS/KOSEI are the 2 biggest/best lightweight track type wheels out there -
BBS forged RC's or RG-R's without a doubt IMHO... LM's and CH's are nice too but I like the RC's (a la my car) or RG-R's.Comment

Fikse and Kinesis both produce nice forged wheels. 18s @ ~19lbs with custom widths / offsets, some models have reverse drop centers (for a deeper-than-deep dish look)Comment

Does BBS make anything in deep dish. And how much for the Fikse and Kinesis?Comment

I would also recommend BBS.
You can get the BBS RGR for some deep dish but for some really deep dish, it would require more agressive offset and a widebody.
Here are 2 of my favorite wheels from BBS.

Then you run into the problem of water getting inside the wheel during rain driving and throwing of the balance. (so i have heard about wheels with reverse drop centers)

Um, most of the BBS is 18 inch sizes are closer to 20lbs. I don't know of any wheels that will fit a E36 M3 that are anywhere near 9-12lbs, and not in 18's. My street BBS RGR's weigh about 17lbs, as do my track IFG's. That is just about as light of a wheel as you will find for our cars.Comment

What about ADR M-Sprots? Is that more of a show wheel also? I think these look sick. But they only make them in a 35mm offset in 18x9 so major fender rolling in the back is required. Does anyone know how much these weigh?Comment

Since the question is about the BEST LOOKING wheel my vote goes for the HAMANN HM2 in the 18"x8.5J (photo) and 19"x8.5 and 19"x10J varieties

I just bought some Hamann HM2s...they are very good looking...subtle yet give the car a more agressive look. Very elegant wheels. As for how much they weigh and how they effect the performance of my car...I cant tell much of a difference between them and the contours i had on originally. They also have a detatchable crome lip so if you bump any curbs you just replace the lip and save your rims. I love them, but as for track use and racing, I'm pretty sure they arent the best option. You can get a nice deal at the wheelexchange for the 18x8.5 Hamann HM2s and decent tires for around $2300...not that bad. Wish i had some pictures to show...they are really hot wheels.Comment

IMHO the best looking true performance wheel is a nice Volk LE37 in 18"
Light, strong, and very good looking.
I would also recommend the SSR GT1, SSR Competition, and of course the lighter BBS series. I have always been of the mind that for the money, lb for lb, there is no wheel that can touch BBS for quality out of the box, but again that's just my worthless opinion.Comment

I vote for the BBS Lemans, great racing style. I am trying to find 18X8.5, does anyone know where to it?Comment
