So, you’ve become obsesses with modifying your car. Have you looked at your’ wheels recently?

The top-off on the car is the wheels. They can balance the rest of the modifications you’ve placed on the car. they can also slightly affect how well your’ car handles.

There are 2 things to think about when dealing with your’ rims. One is that customizing the look can make or break the car. The second thing is that by getting rims that are a bit lighter, you can shave a couple of pounds of weight off the car, making it drive better.

DPE (Dynamic Performance Engineering) has 4 wheel styles:

1) Signature Series – The signature is a 3-piece wheel with a polished lip. Most of the Signature series has the bolts standing out as the fashion feature.

2) GT/LS Series – The GT and LS wheels are 2 piece with a chrome lip instead of polished. The GT Wheels have the spokes set into the rim, while the LS wheels have the rim spokes sticking out of the wheel.

2) R Series – The R series is a two-piece just like the GT/LS series.

4) MT – The MT series are monoblock (built out of one peice) which gives it a very distintive look. They are a recent addition – having been launched in September ‘09. That being said, the MT wheels don’t stick out or in as much as the LS, GT and Signature series, as they are created from one block.

Each DPE Wheel has a number of options including preferred lip, fastener/bolt/rivet color and multiple finishes

The standard options on most of the wheels (for color) are silver, black and chrome.

You can also choose to customize the color by adding 2-tone colors to the rims. When you add the options to paint the rivets, bolts and fasteners a seperate color, there’s alot of opportunity for customization.

They also have some custom fasteners to choose from. Stainless steel (Good Looking), aluminum (Standard) or titanium(saves 1 pound or so of weight per wheel).

Putting DPE Wheels on your’ BMW to replace the standard rimsare a great way to enhance your’ BMW Rims and look. Stealth Auto offers many choices for the BMW Modding enthusiast.
