Suggestions needed: 19" wheels with chrome/silver lip

I have a BSM F83 and am looking for a spare set of wheels and tires in case I run into issues with my existing ones (ok, my excuse lol).

I'd like a set that has a chrome or silver lip, with a darker face for contrast, similar to the BBS CI-R looks-wise, but I'm hoping for something lighter than that, cos the CI-Rs are known to be hefty.

Ideally 19" but open to 18/20" as well.

Also not a fan of complicated faces.

Haven't seen any besides the CI-Rs on the various wheel threads.

Any suggestions? Attaching a pic of my car for reference. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

A few more details could help provide more suggestions -- when you say "with chrome/silver lip" it usually suggests you mean a multipiece wheel (ie. BBS LM, E88, HRE 540) but when you reference BBS CI-R it makes me think you mean some sort of monoblock wheel forged or otherwise.

Honestly can't think of another common wheel with the same "silver lip" as the CI-R (more of a silver strip IMO lol), but check out "forged monoblock" or just "monoblock" wheels, HRE, BBS, Work, Advan, Apex, SSR are some of the most reputable brands around.

Thanks, I’m honestly open to either a single or multi piece wheel. I’m trying to optimize for aesthetics and weight (doesn’t have to be super light, but the thing that’s keeping me from getting the CI-Rs is the weight). Been looking around for quite a while but haven’t found many options, thus this thread.

I had CI-Rs, they weren't overly heavy. They held up very well.

Thanks, for the Apex range I much prefer the aesthetics of the ARC-8 and the VS-5RS. Good call on the lip tho!

For the price, they’re a little too heavy 😅 Did you take them on a lot of twisty roads?
