e90carbon · 06-16-2010, 12:38 AM

I've got these 4 rims but don't know what is best looking with my car.

Thanks for your suggestions.

You seriously gotta go with either the first or the third.... I think the third picture has the 269 BMW Performance wheel and probably looks best (in my opinion)

they're all great

I'd go with the 3rd one, the Performance ones.

CSL style and 193Ms are too common and its a tough call but i prefer the performance ones over m6 reps.

1) CSL reps FTW. I like these a lot. I think these in silver are the perfect compliment for your alpine white sedan. Edot: The 18x8.5" wheels have ET40 which is about IMO is 5mm too tucked in.
2) M6 reps. They're ok, but a lot of people already got them from ebay.
3) BMW performace 269. Nice wheels. Edit: I didn't know they came in 18" for E90 fitment.
4) 193M. This is a very popular wheel. Edit: If you get genuine ones they are a bit heavy, but they are suitable for runflats.

I'm gonna go with either #1 or #2

Still like #1 best, and I know, everyone has those rims, but who cares?

Not liking 3 or 4 - too busy

Here's another option for you in 18"x8.5"

I like the looks of these, but I don't know anything about the quality or strength, weight durability etc. I don't think they are expensive wheels, so you might want to search for some opinions/reviews on them.

spdy330 · 06-17-2010, 05:46 PM
