Wheel opinions for an e92 Montego Blue

Looking at getting wheels and need some opinions, I cant decide if I want a lip or concavity...these are the contenders (Z2S, Dynas, or VB3s...list others if you think something else looks better):

Z2S...these are my last choice



L22s



Dynas



VB3s





I think all wheels look AMAZING...I just cant decide which ones I like the best...

thanks man.

my VB3's were not the 10" rear, they were not available then.

I had et30 rear 9.5" VB3's, 275 rear general's and 5mm spacer up front.

lowered on KW V2 coilovers.

rear fenders were rolled pretty hard to help with fitment, never rubbed once.



Right now I would go with the 10" wide w 275 rear and roll the fenders. That would be sexy, love the concavity on the new 10" rear.

Ya if I do the VB3s, or any wheel for that matter, I want a tire that comes to the edge of the wheel (the 275)...I think its tacky when the wheel sticks past the tire. I really really love your setup, including the drop

275 should be pretty square on a 10", but it will depend what tire brand you go with

VB3s = more classic
Dynas = more sporty

Depends on the what look you are after. For me - the Dynas.

If you are going with the CSL you might want to consider our CS7 wheels.

IMO the Dynas will look the best (of the three) once you put some more aggressive mods

I plan on an aero lip, painted kidney grills, and springs or coilovers. Basically my car would look like Sniz' car

Don't worry...keep coming to the meets and we'll convince you to get the Vorst trunk. For that reason (along with your planned mods) I still say go with tje Dynas

CSL or Z2S.

Both are very classy and both look great on Montego. IMO silver is the way to go.
