	I'm thinking of putting some 18" wheels on my 98 BMW 318ti Contour, and I'm tossing up between a set of BMW wheels (some nice m3 ones or something) or going full bling with a set of aftermarket 18"'s, not necessarily chrome though. 
I'm not sure which way to go, but the BMW wheels are bloody expensive, so I want to make the right decision.

	M3 wheels look awesome but i dunno if they would be worth the money when u could prob get a really nice aftermarket set for waaaay cheaper. How much do m3 wheels cost ?

	depends, but I think they'll be around double the cost of a decent set of aftermarkets.

	Quite possibly. Haven't looked too much into that.

	That might be the best option, the best of both worlds then. 
 
 
 
A bit OT, but do you have any pics of your car? Love to see it... Nothin' quite like a nice Beamer.
