You are probably going to have to custom order your wheels with 5x112 bolt pattern. On the plus side you can customize your offsets at the same time to match your car. Most shops won't stock that bolt pattern, and if they do it's probably not the offsets you want. What kind of wheels were you thinking of? elpresidente might be able to help you, his wife has that same car.

^definately going to need to custom order your wheels, but the good news is that you can get them to custom fit your ride. so, do your resarch on sizes and offsets that will fit your ride and plans because it would be best to get it right the first time.

thanks for the responses guys. the problem with wheels is that since im still in college and dont have the greatest job in the world. i have to stay kinda cheap on the wheels. i ahve seen some nice brabus replicas that are +35 offset 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. and they are under a 1000 bux which is all i can really afford. i wish i could afford better wheels because i found a pic online of a car like mine with a set of MAE's and they looked freaking sick! but that to baller for this college kid. haha. i really wanna find a decently priced supercharger pulley kit just to hear it whine a lil louder. ricer i know but its fun. lolz. but thanks for your help guys

you can find nice and REAL used wheels for under $1,000. also, if you want to hear the supercharger whine just install an intake. but trust me, it will get really annoying really fast.

Why not try to save up some money and purchase a used clean set of wheels from another member on the other forum. Those ebay wheels are ok but trust me a majority of ebay owners regret buying them in the first place.

im on all those other websites already. i think thats what im gunna do is just save up and try to get some wheels. i know i wont be able to get custom ordered works or anything but i know i can get something better than the ebay wheels. 5X112 wheels are just hard to come by. haha. but everything will work out in the end.

I had the same problem with my 740i (5x120) but I just googled the name of the rims I would see on this site and then contact the company to see if they could custom make them in my pattern/offset. Try www.superbuytires.com
