Which rims to get?

I am deciding to either buy a used 00 or 01 M3 or a new MC S loaded (dark silver w/ black top, black leather, nav system, upgrade audio, aero kit, etc).

If I go the MC S route, should I get the best stock rims (i think the 90s)? Or should I get the cheapest I can and upgrade later to nice Hamans(?) that i've seen on this board and or something similar? I really like both the Hamans and the 90s but dont know the price diff.

In other words, how much would it cost generally for a nice set of Hamans compared to upgrading to the 90s stock.

I am really a newbie to aftermarket stuff/etc but really want to get into it if you guys can point me in the right direction.

Your going to have to do some research as to what rims you want vs cost but, I'd suggest you get the cheep rims as you can get better aftermarket for much less $$.

I agree, check out SHOW ME YOUR WHEELS thread. You can see what others have done. I have an FAQ at the top detailing tirerack's selections.
