New wheels for my e92

When I bought my car last year, it had LM reps on it (see my signature below). One of the rear wheels developed a crack … which then multiplied into three cracks! And one of the front wheels had a bend on the outer lip. So rather than repair or replace the two buggered rims (especially since the other wheels were rashed and stained), I decided to give the Alzor 730 wheels from a ECS Tuning a shot. They're inexpensive, but they seem to be decent wheels. They're low-pressure cast and weigh in around 27lbs. I decided to go with a square setup with 8" wheels and 235/35/19 Hankook V12s all around. I'd prefer a 8.5" wheel, but that wasn't an option. I'll need to add spacers to the rear sooner than later, but so far I'm pretty happy with how they look on the car. I hope to get better pictures soon, but for now …

Looks good! These are very reasonable wheels, I have to say they look better than I expected!

Ha! It was 60-something Sunday when I took these pics. That little girl will play outside all day long and I love it!

Unfortunately standard BMW caps won't fit, so I'll have to get stickers to put over the caps I have. I'll probably do that at the same time I get spacers for the rear.

Nice wheels... One suggestion on your Aero Lip.....Wrap it in carbon fiber to hide the scratch on the front I did it to mines because of all the rock chips.. Just a temporary fix until i get my Mtech front.. But it still looks good with the wrap on both sides and the center exposed.

Good idea. The lip is pretty beat up. I've been thinking about a respray, but that's low on my priority list at the moment. Took me a couple months to learn how to drive a car this low

R1 Concepts slotted and dimpled rotors. They're a vendor on the forum. I have Stoptech pads, but I'm not terribly happy with them. Might go with Performance Friction Z-Rated pads next time.
