Best 7 spoke wheels?

Folks,

I am really not falling for this mesh, csl, black wheels trend that almost 80% of the E9X are going for. I am really enjoying the look of my OEM Type 162s. Simple, eye catching, easy to clean, strong.

For me simplicity is best. No rivets, no bolts, no split spokes or weird patterns. Give me old school fat 5 spoke or 7 spoke wheel with a decent concavity or better yet, deep dish and I'll be as happy as a drunk gypsy with a boom box after payday!

I've been digging around for some decent wheels that match my criteria and not break the piggy bank but I figured it won't hurt to ask for some help.

So, please recommend me some wheels for my E90 that:

* 18 inch diameter with staggered setup and proper offset for fender flush look
* Simple 5-spoke or 7-spoke design.
* Concave or deep dish
* NO RIVETS/BOLTS (those are pain in the ass to clean)

Thank you for your time and help in advance!

BMW 313 or MIRO 942

942 Reps from MIRO see 88Rotors for a good deal.
.
OEM Look
LP CAST
EASY TO CLEAN
Good Quality -- not the highest but for the price EXCELLENT!
.
.
I am looking at these but I also like ForgeStar F14 & Aulfulgen SF-71
.
.
$700 for the MIRO is just such a good deal - hard to pass on.
.
.
I will get some 18"s for Christmas.

Stay away from forgestar just look up all the horror stories with those weak wheels. Not to mention the concavity is horrendous.

How about these? Advan RS - clean, simple, 9 straight spokes (I think), strong and able to get a good flush fit with concavity.
Oh, yes, that's me at NJMP a couple weeks ago.

Either the Advans or the ADV5.1
http://www.adv1wheels.com/1piececoll...ce-ADV5-1.html

Looks like they list 18x8.5 and 10". Check out the pics, there are a couple of E9Xs. Not sure about the diameter shown, but I know the white car is running 20". Definitely a sweet wheel! They may make a cast version of this wheel, but I'm not sure if they're doing 18". Check the vendor section.

The Advan F7 is getting close to what I am looking for. I just have this "stigma" about putting JDM wheels on a Euro car...

Any other suggestions?
