WTB style 225m

Hi, looking for Style 225m wheels in good shape and price.

I tried finding them locally (Vancouver) without much luck. However, they are only ~$1800 from Tischer, which is pretty reasonable for OEM 19" wheels. I'm going to have them ship across the border and I'll go pick them up. They are one of the best looking OEM wheels for E90/92.

Probably my fav' OEM wheels. Unfortunately it seems their structural integrity is compromised by a design. (They crack)

Thanks, will have a look at Tisher

Ya, read about that, mostly in Europe but have seen it on this side too. Actually, you'll find a posting on this forum with a busted set.

Doesn't only happen to 225m rims, on this site you can find cracked 313 rims and cracked 230 rims. All depends on potholes and tire pressure in the runflats.

If you read up on the UK forum where the 225M wheel was very popular - you can see that BMW had a supplier redesign the 225M. In theory, a new set may be more resistant to cracking.
