My thoughts exactly. If the OP REALLY wants to have an interchangeable set, he'll need a multi-piece wheel and two sets of barrels/tires. Then, and only then, could he swap the faces for widebody/non-widebody times. Buy your wheels right the first time.......if you don't like money, give it to me.

I was actually thinking of an M3 before I got the G, they were too expensive though.

It will look weird for a little while but I can live with that. besides I'll need the spacers anyway for winter because I'll be putting the stock rims back on with snow tires. That will look weird.

The main reason I didn't get the M3 was because I would be worried about blowing it up. Only turbo kit I could find for it....1000RWHP estimated. It's the horsepowerfreaks kit..stage 3.

And I'm still not sure what to do with the G, if I wannt do FI or stay N/A or what...I'm up in the air still.

You want to drop something like $8K for a widebody, and then skimp and get some Axis wheels? Oh boy...

check with Work wheels, they can custom made any offset for the widebody ! just need to wait for 3 months before you can have it on the car.

I'd get the axis wheels this spring and not get the widebody for awhile. One thing I noticed is that on axis' website, it lists prices. But on like iforged, not a price to be found. It's one of those if you have to ask ya can't afford it kind of things.
