    What wheels are these??!?!? E36 5-spoke BimmerWorld ad

    Happy new year to all!

    I am on a quest to find the elusive perfect wheel (within a reasonable budget, of course) for track, winter, general screwing around etc. on my E46 M3. I understand there are many good options out there (I currently rock 18x9.5 Apex EC-7s which I quite like) but I really want a 17" wheel that will clear my Brembo GT1 355mm 4 pots at the front. I know the ARC-8 in 17" will do this but would like to consider other designs too.

    Anywho, I spotted this rather handsome E36 in a BimmerWorld holiday promotional email and I can't tell what wheels it's got. Austin at BW thought they might be Fiske ($$$) or KANSEI KNP ($). I'm not positive the wheel is by either of these brands, but I'm super glad he gave me those brands as I didn't know of them and from what I hear KANSEI is reasonably good quality.

    Anyone know what wheels these are (attached)? TIA

    FYI, I have been working with KANSEI to see if the 17x9 ET35 (5x120 of course) KNP will work with the Brembos. I generated a model in CAD based off the cross section drawing from Brembo and had KANSEI assemble with the wheel. They believe the brakes won't work with a 17" wheel (see attached) but I am a bit skeptical as the Brembo drawing doesn't clearly define the caliper edge in question.

      My Forgelines are 17x10 and they clear my Brembo GTR setup up front with 355mm rotors. Options are out there.

        Titan 7 makes a 17x9.5" et35 wheel with a BMW center bore. Forged for less than $2k, I'd bet those spokes clear your Brembos.

          Yup get these and huck a spacer on the rear. Email them and they will be able to tell you if they clear the calipers.

              100% Fikse FM5 wheels. Dinan used to sell them under their name back in the day as well. Forgeline makes a similar style wheel now with their FF3 that might be a little cheaper.
