what rims should I go with on my e90 n55 xi??

So I'm finally getting rid of my stock rims and run flats!! Originally I was set of some 19in Avant Garde 310's but now I have a few in mind. All around the same price rage just don't know which ones to go with. Was hoping to get some opinions and make my purchase by this Wed. Here are links to what I'm currently looking at. Roderick, Avant Garde, Rennen, and Niche.

Originally wanted to go with this but not quite sure if the 275 will be clear?
Front: 19x8.5 235/35/19
Rear: 19x9.5 275/30/19

I prefer the avant gardes out of all your options, m590 then m359.

275's will clear just fine, it depends on your wheel offset. I'm running 285's and next year might step that up to 295's.

I'd go with some VMR 810's or Sportline CS.16

Exactly the same as the M359's but they're forged and therefore lighter (and stronger) for about the same price.

Tempting but wanted something with a bit more of a visual look. I'll keep those in mind

VMR 810s are flow formed, very different from forged.

According to **********s they are flow forged. I have no idea what the difference is to a regular forged wheel but according to them they perform the same.

hmmm good to know. I'll have to google what the difference is but I guess as long as they perform the same or similar I'd still buy them.

Here's a good place to start Not our video or our factory, though, I believe it provides an excellent overview of Flow-Forming. Keep in mind, every manufacturer has their own unique methods

Good luck on your wheel search! Any questions feel free to PM me at anytime.

Yeah that's what I think I'm gonna go with 590. I just wanted something a little different hence the Roderick wheels.
