Guys just agreed to purchase Ahmed's BMW 330D Mpsort with only 50k on the clock full BMW history and every optional extra at point of sale ticked.

The car is on oem 313 alloys but at MOT had discovered that a rear alloy had a crack, (very common) it's only an advisory but for me I will be changing it. Now the options are. Keep the same style or change

What's your thoughts (option 1 is the car as it is now)

Option 1



Option 2



Option 3



Thanks in advance

I've always liked the 313's and tbh they are the only OE alloy I regret selling from my car.

However, the issues with cracking etc does put me off and in the pursuit of a bit of individuality, I'd say aftermarket lol.

Out of those I do like the CSL style rims (option 3).

Do you still have run flats on?

I've had a few sets of 313s and never had a single one crack but I've always changed the tyres to non-runflats

I don't like the 313's, was one of my reasons for preferring the looks of pre LCI coupe I had to the LCI.
Option 2 looks better, but I prefer a design with more spokes and option 3 is stunning.

Option 2 every time Sir. But then I am biased

Hi Shane. Take a look at my thread a few posts down in this UK forum

CSL's would look very good actually

They were originally on runflats when I bought them and the crack had appeared then. I had it welded and put non-runflats on them and they had been fine ever since (for 6 months +)

For some reason, the MOT garage decided to note it as an advisory that the wheel had previously been weld repaired.
