I'm ready to buy 19's for my car and I must have spent hours/ days looking VB3, v710, miro111, 942 and m6 reps and I have narrow it down to M6 and VB3. What's yaws thoughts?

VMR VB3 with 19x10 rear. Miro M6 reps are known to be fragile. Check the links in my signature for pictures.

I say Csl's. My m6 reps bent and i almost died when the tire exploded, the csls are much classier and stronger. But thats just me. Hope the pics help

+1, go with VMR VB3, 10 in rears for maximum concavity...

The 942 reps look nice as well but may suffer from the same issues their m6 reps have been plagued with.

VB3's in 19x10 MB finish.

I have some non Miro m6 reps available if your set on them, I just got rid of my VMR VB3's and they are great wheels, finish is great on the matte black, 19x10et25 rear is like heaven

run a 9.5" up front for a sick concave setup

The M6 wheels get my vote as it maintains a classy yet aggressive look! I can't shoot you over a PM due to your low post count so shot me over an email here at Alan************.com and I'll hook you up!

the VB3s hands down. Maybe if you had a coupe the m6 reps would look nice but to me they look a little off on the e90s. Gunmetal/hyperblack VB3s on an e90 are sick

I really like the vb3s
How much of an issue is the whole gravity casting?

M6 reps are a bit outdated. Check out the Miro 942 for an updated look. I personally have a set of VMR VB3 on the way...

I got to agree, that's one hot looking wheel.

Have you looked at cs7s?

+1 i have matte black vb3s and they are nice but i just saw the cs7s in matte black and cs7s look so much more aggressive when you compare them in their respective 19x9.5 rear size

If you are on the border with the VB3, I would recommend taking a look our new V718's. They are a hybrid between our V710 and VB3 wheel together. Offering the best of both features in an updated wheel which works very well with the E9x body IMO.

+100

19x10 Rear is gorgeous. It's a great setup that allows you to get some meat on the ground with some fatty tires.

Though not enforced, there are quality standards to govern the production of wheels. Some countries though, like Germany and Japan, have government regulations requiring aftermarket wheels to meet certain criteria and ensure proper fit. The United States has taken steps to establish guidelines but it will be some time before they can enact regulation of any kind. Consequently, all wheels are not made the same. The performance of an alloy wheel is a direct result of the manufacturing technique employed.

GRAVITY CASTING:
Gravity casting is the most basic process of pouring molten aluminum into a mold utilizing the earth's gravity to fill the mold. Gravity casting offers a very reasonable production cost and is a good method for casting designs that are more visually oriented or when reducing weight is not a primary concern. Since the process relies on gravity to fill the mold, the aluminum is not as densely packed in the mold as some other casting processes. Often gravity cast wheels will have a higher weight to achieve the required strength.

LOW PRESSURE CASTING:
Low pressure casting uses positive pressure to move the molten aluminum into the mold quicker and achieve a finished product that has improved mechanical properties (more dense) over a gravity cast wheel. Low-pressure casting has a slightly higher production cost over gravity casting. Low pressure is the most common process approved for aluminum wheels sold to the O.E.M. market. Low-pressure cast wheels offer a good value for the aftermarket as well. Some companies offer wheels that are produced under a higher pressure in special casting equipment to create a wheel that is lighter and stronger than a wheel produced in low pressure. Once again in the quest for lighter weight, there is a higher cost associated with the process.

Yep, the MiRo 942 BMW performance 313 style wheel is a great choice for those who are looking for an updated look! I'll include some photos for you guys to check out below!
