^ Point taken. However, 1) wheels aren't cheap, and 2) I guess I just don't trust those filters, given the $$ I'm paying, as adequate to ensure fitment

right, you use the filters to find something you like and then you call them and speak to someone

here's an example of a site i've used in the past for bmw wheels.
entering mk1 r8 + forged brings up these results for me: Audi FG R8 Performance and Styling Parts | ModBargains.com
i found: BC Forged TD03 Monoblock Wheels 18-20 Inch - All Makes & Models which I like (ignore the color)
from there i'd call them to talk about fitment, size, powder coating, etc or I would just ask @TriniTT what size I should buy and pay him a consulting fee

btw i was totally doing that for purposes of writing this post and now all of a sudden i find myself about to buy those wheels lol
