18" breyton Visions/Magics

[christyles]

Anybody know where I can get 18" Breyton Visions or Magics locally. I don't want to deal with ebay or the States on something like this for certain reasons.

Replica or authentic...

Thanks in advance.

No 19s for you?

[christyles]

No 19s for you?
As nice as they are, I've thought long & hard, but 19's just arne't my style.
For now.
If anything, I mostly likely will go with the Breytons or into the BBS line. At least that part has been decided on.

I was going to get the visions before, but enerchy's got them already...now you! Anyway wheels direct has them in their showroom. For a staggered 18" set up you're looking at under $3000 just for rims alone. Steelcase Tires also could get them cheaper by $100 less. if you go replica's youre looking at around $450 each rim. Let me know when you're making the purchase cause Ian, Gary and Myself are hoping to get a deal if we all buy at the same time!

What are you guys after? Have you decided?
it doesnt matter if Enarchy has Visions. if I wanted to be unique and have wheels that no one else has, I'd be rolling on 19" concrete cylinders like Fred Flintstone. And those are 1 piece and heavier than Breytons.

Colin(Wheels Direct owner) told me that 18" Vision is around $500/wheel. And I dun think a stagger setup on 323i is a good idea. BTW, Breyton wheels are quite heavy! Man it is Sept already, be patient and give yourself 7 more months and wait for some steal deal on ebay or E46Fan for some BBS, hamman, ACS or Volk. ;)

The month doesnt matter to me Ian, cause they won't go on til next year anyways.
Weight is not a big issue as it's all for show and has nothing to do with performance.
BBS.. maybe, if I can get hands on LM's, RA's are nice too.
Hamanns... only HM2, and EricE330ci already has them for Team Premier.
ACS type III, one of my faves, but old & played out. And eezzie has a very similar rim style.
Volk...neyah.
Nevertheless, I'm still open to other good deals which may come up, but my "vision" for my 323, is the way to go... no pun intended.Oh and thanks for you input Ian. Great help.

So you guys said they're heavy.
I don't race, street racing especially, what am I too expect from driving around on heavy-ass rims on my 323 which is a daily driver for the summer.
In addition to all the weight, a custom box with an amp, 2 subs is gonna be in the trunk.

Factors: gas consumption, more wear on the trani, is this right? What else? Long term effects....short term effect...

Remember, based on 18" Breyton Visions...

a small amount of weight add to your wheel will cause you a lot of hp to move the car due to angular moment. 323 already does not have enough power and torque, l am afraid Breyton will make your car as slow as an Echo. :(

Are you serious about that much power loss? I wanted to cruise in style but not drivin behind Ms. Daisy.

I'm thinking of HRE now. BBS and DPE are very expensive. Today I will shop around for rims. :)
Breyton are heavy rims. Unless you go forged type. :cool:

Again, I don't mind Breyton replicas....
Are they just as heavy?

[M007]

I think the real one is 29LB. don't know the replica. :confused:

[BlueSky]

29 lb is pretty heavy for a 18...
CH in 19x8.5 weights 24...

hey Gary... if u are saying BBS & DPE are very expensive... and u are thinking of HRE... doesn't it get more expensive???

[ianS]

Hey Chris,

think about the OZ Superlaggar in Gunmetal. It looks really good on black car. They are strong and only 18lb for 18". And the most important thing is they are cheap! If I didn't got a deal on CH, I properly already get a set of it. Also Speedstars maybe still have a set of used 18" BBS RC forged with tires and sell for ~$3000. They are classic too. :cool:

[Jersey]

arent OZ supperlaggar's more for intergra's etc??

[Jersey]
