Have fun guys, let see who the winner is

30 Days count down till Post closes. Start: 4JAN07 End: 4FEB07

BuckJon · 01-04-2007, 06:26 PM

Where are all the rest? I like the 230's and the 179's. Out of those 4 choices I like #2. I think the E92 looks best with a 5 spoke wheel.

BMW0 · 01-04-2007, 06:41 PM

Sorry these are the options BuckJon. If you don't mind please click on the number at the top of your choice to add your vote. Thanks.

I'm not sure what where voting for. We are comparing 18 to 19 also. Is this to help you choose? I assume we are voting for which one we favor the most. My money is on #1 winning regardless.

I bet you'll get alot of votes for #4 (cross spoke 197) because the majority of people will have these.

This might help some.
#1 Radial Spoke Composite Wheel 198
#2 Star Spoke 199
#3 Double Spoke 195
#4 Cross Spoke 197

I vote #5 Radial Spoke 196 if I could. Looks like complete crap on BMW and I would never opt for these but I really love the look of this wheel. Maybe i'll just purchase one to place on the shelf (i'm serious too) or maybe as a spare.

kevE90 · 01-04-2007, 10:22 PM

I'm surprised many people like the #2 choice, Star Spoke 199. I'm a fan of style 189 but never really liked the proportions of the 199. Maybe it's something that I need to see in person to appreciate.

update: The 199 are definitely growing on me the more I look at them in photos. That was quick. E90post can sure mess with your head.

SV Concepts III · 01-04-2007, 10:41 PM

Definitely 4 but if you go with those, check out our CSL wheels. They are very similar in style

JOSG328I · 01-04-2007, 11:24 PM

Come on 198. BMW's look sweet with more than just mesh wheels.

Sorry but I am a Multi man even though 197's are nice too...

Driver72 · 01-05-2007, 05:34 PM

Anybody know the weight of the 199 5 spoke wheels as well
as the 197 Mesh style?

Montego30 · 01-05-2007, 05:39 PM

No, go for the Euro-only and US-exclusive "star-spoke 230s". They ARE the rims to have...

Joop! · 01-05-2007, 05:43 PM

Me like 189..., second the 230...

I voted for the 198, although they're very hard to keep clean

MichaelATL · 01-05-2007, 06:04 PM

I like OEM style 199 and 230.

I HATE that BMW does not let you pick your wheels when you buy the car. It is so annoying... we end up paying for two sets of wheels.. and tires if we wanted larger wheels... *sigh*!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

I ordered new wheels, but now I am stuck with brand new style 162s with brand new RFTs... trying to find a buyer who will pay fair price...

Probably 335i's should have their own distinctive wheel, or atleast 19" version of the 162's and staggered wider.

well i went 19x8.5, 19x9.5 which is what i wanted

that would be too wide, i would think

Jay_328 · 01-07-2007, 10:05 AM

seriously considered changing my wheels but I'm really starting to

them. I just hate to clean those b*#@!ches.

mbdurham · 01-07-2007, 12:31 PM

I also like the 162's but I agree the 335 should have its own distinctive wheel

bavarian19 · 01-07-2007, 12:53 PM

230's are not listed... I would have voted for those as my favorite E92 wheel.

MacAttack · 01-07-2007, 12:57 PM

Same here. The 230s look ten times better in person.
