Can I have your opinion on these please

What does everyone think to these?

http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroo...h=51_23_122_32

I've been after some wheels since joining this forum and looking at everyones different E9x's. I want the concave look and seem to have come unstuck on a couple efforts. VB3's are like rocking horse shit and the Alufelgen GB is on it's arse. 313's are not for me as I'm not keen on the 'open' look. I like the AG M359, a lot but I'm a bit scared of running 10" rears as the car gets a lot of use and I don't want any rubbing. If I could justify it I'd put BBS CX-R's on but I'm looking at £2k+ with tyres and I could have the wheels linked above with tyres and some KW V1/2's for that.

The Zito's would be a bit of a compromise where as VB3's wouldn't but then the VB3 isn't as concave on an 8.5" front and I seem to be waiting ages for any UK supplier to let me know when they can get any.

I'm stuck. Any help/advice would be great.

Beautiful wheels man! Love the concavity! The dude with the car in the BM autosport pic is on this forum! Hit him up! P 5UML!

I too am looking for some concave CSL reps and so far ive narrowed them down to these Zito GTS ones, Cades Bern and Dare NK1s in the £600-700 range.

I saw a set of 20" Dare NK1 on an M3 @ M-style's showroom... Jaw dropped at how awesome they looked.

I've had the same issue trying to source the VB3's. When I first enquired about a couple of months ago they were everywhere, now their seems to be a shortage. I've been quoted 4 weeks at least for them to be back in stock. Seems they have become popular all of a sudden!

Not sure of the quality of the other options though, They do seem too cheap though and you often get what you pay for. It would be nice if we could get some real life user feedback if anyone is running with these.

If you cant get VB3's then you can get 710's which are close - these are the ones I am going for - http://www.********.com/index.php?ro...&product_id=81

They come in Hyper Silver as well.

Yep, very nice wheels too but I still prefer the slightly extra concavity of the VB3's. I am trying to get a hold of something a bit different at the moment but if that falls through then I'll probably just wait for the VB3's to come back in stock.

I think VB3's are out of stock after Audiotrash posted pics of his LMB E90 on the forum, I know that's the reason I want some.

Thanks for the responses over the Zito wheels guys but I've gone and changed my mind again and ordered some 359's from Mark at BM Autosport. Fancied the OE look and the Zito wheels being a spoke short of the CSL's just didn't cut it for me. New ones will be fitted at the weekend. Can't wait

Did you get the AG M359 from BM autosport?

I have been looking at all of the wheels you listed and i agree exactly with the spokes on the zito's

the AG M359 just look that bit sharper. How much did you get them for as i cant find them on the autosport website...

They're not the Avant Garde M359 but another replica of the 359. They are listed as CS Performance alloys on BM Autosport (I'd post a link but on phone and don't know how to). There is a UK stockist for AG wheels, Chargecooler.co.uk, £1400 mind!
