i just cant decide

shuarma · 04-17-2010, 06:24 PM

it's been months since i became interested in new wheels, still rocking my OEM sport package ones since feb 07. i have an AW e92, and you guys need to help me choose what wheels im getting. here we go:

super silver vmr vb3

jet anthracite vmr vb3

gunmetal vmr v710

BBS LM REPS

HELP!

Is price a factor? ...'cuz those BBS LM's will set you back a pretty penny compared to your other choices.. so you have to like them ALOT

fdriller9 · 04-17-2010, 08:11 PM

^ You can get reps. CSL are too common and so are VMRs. But I would go with the VMRs. A little bit "newer." I don't like the 2 tier lip on the LMs. That's just me though.

forgot to let you guys know that i'm considering reps. i would never spend over 2 grand on rims, that's just silly.

I like the silver vb3's the best of those on an AW.

I was the same way.

Pics give you an idea, but you have to see them in person (if you haven't already) to really make a final decision.

shuarma · 04-17-2010, 11:16 PM

i actually only saw one modded e92 in person, never really seen one with aftermarket rims or anything. all i see is stock m3/5/6 and shit like that

I'm old school -- generally prefer a silver or other light-colored finish.

My vote would be for the VB3s or the LMs. Both those designs are classics and are likely to look good to you 3 years from now, not just next week.

Chewy734 · 04-18-2010, 10:25 AM

Easy... BBS LMs if you can afford them.

Tallest · 04-18-2010, 02:21 PM

im in minority here, i liked jet anthracite best.

ah gon · 04-18-2010, 03:09 PM

i'll pick V710 gunmetal,matt blk.
or LM in silver.

ibeclueless · 04-18-2010, 03:15 PM

gunmetal v710

shuarma · 04-18-2010, 09:45 PM

i'm torn between the jet anthracite and super silver. i've decided i dont want the gunmetal v710's and even the lm reps are a bit pricey.

Craig@SupremePower · 04-18-2010, 10:39 PM

change your poll to indicate reps if your looking for reps man its a night and day difference!!

As an owner of JA, I have to say it is truly an awesome finish - pictures don't do them justice.
But you must be willing to spend a little more time with maintaining them as brake dust clings to the matte finish a bit (nothing that a little diluted P21S and an EZ detail brush can't handle tho).

If you plan on, or already have a dark/aggressive theme going on with your car, go with the JA.
If you want to keep the classy/OEM style go with the silver.

I think silver is the "safe" choice on an AW.
