Looking to swap out my current 18s for 19s for the summer and can't decide what to get. Currently on miro 942s (313 reps) in staggered 18s. Looking to make these my winter rims for next season and buy a new set of staggered 19s for the upcoming summers.

Current set up picture:

New exterior mods since picture: 20% tint all around, shadowline trim in matte black



I will be dropping the car on H&R street performance coils at the same time of the new rims coming in (before people start yelling at me for needing a drop on my tank of an xdrive)

Current Options:

LC818's (Matte Black or hyper black)

Eurosport Monza's (machine satin black)



VMR v710s (Gunmetal)



Advice, Suggestions, Thoughts, Other options, any responses would be great!

Been busting my head on this for a while, winter is almost over so running out of time to decide.

Sorry to be slightly OT, but I love your wheels. I'm looking to get a set of 18" for the summer, but I can't really afford BMW 313's. How much did you pay for those, and where did you get them??

Thanks!

yeah the 313s are quite costly, not too bad in the 18s but can run you 3,000+ for the 19s with tires and tpms. I spend ~1500 on the rims, tires and installation (this was without tpms). I got them from kevin at **********s, I don't think he works their anymore but Alan from **********s is great too.

My set up for my car was:
225/40/18 front 18x8.5 ET35
255/35/18 rear 18x9.5 ET35

on hankook v12s (great summer tires)

To the OP, what are your goals for the 19" setup? From the looks of it, you're looking to get a wheel that's going to give you that aggressive and concave look. You may also want to check out the Miro 111 wheels as well as they're very similar in design to the two wheels you've mentioned. I'll go ahead and shoot you over a PM with more of the details. In the meantime, here are a few pictures for you to check out!

The Miro 942 wheels are going to be your best bet if you're looking for a BMW Performance 313 style wheel but don't want to pay the BMW tax for it. I'll drop you a PM with more details as well!

I would look at a set of Avant Garde wheels. They are one of the few cast wheels with fully painted barrels that are JWL and VIA certified.

AG M335 (no longer available in Diamond Black)


AG M341






Avant Garde M368



We also offer custom colors on Avant Garde and VMR Wheels.

Thanks for the responses sponsors. I am looking for a gunmetal or two-tone color look, avant garde makes great wheels but I don't think they are concave enough compared to the VMRs, LC818s, or the eurosport monzas

[satin_m2c]

Anyone have pictures of LC818s mounted on an e92 in gunmetal?

quick edit to see what the eurosports would look like
