And of course BBS LM DBK always look good on AW car.

LC818 was one of the first ones I had my eye on but the gunmetal for those was too dark. I promised the wife I wouldn't get Black rims(my original choice).

Not a fan of the Volk CE28 TA.

As for the BBS LM DBK, I agree they look sexy as hell. However not my taste. They seen to being growing in popularity though on these forums.

I just posted pics of an LCI e90 with M3 wheels with M3 offset, courtesy of mtechnik3 spouse's car, so yes, it will fit LCI. Other modifications might be needed, like fender roll, different tire spec, or negative camber, but M3 specs will fit LCI e90 in the rear. See below:

Yes, it will. I have 11" et32 on E90 LCI.

Are the VMR rims you are looknig at even low pressure cast or are they gravity cast? If gravity cast I would pass on both and look for at least a low pressure cast wheel.

In that style and price range I am biased towards the Alufelgen CS7's or SF71's in gun metal or hyper black, both are light weight and low pressure cast. The CS7's are the most accurate CSL rep on the market.

Also take a look at the forgestar's. http://www.**********s.com/Forgestar-F14-Wheels.htm

The casting method is only relative to the wheel design. Certain wheels benefit from one method while other wheel designs benefit from other manufacturing methods. All of our wheels meet and exceed international crash safety standards issued by JWL/VIA and they are currently TUV pending. The OP shouldn't have any issues running them.

I agree that at a minimum you should go with low pressure cast. I'd recommend avant garde m310's in matte gunmetal. They are identical to vmr 710's , same price, and low pressure cast. Another choice to look at is linea corse 818 in hypersilver I think these wheels are aggressive enough to look good in hypersilver but that's just my opinion. Good luck.

So in other words they are gravity cast, got it!

I had VB3 and a friend of mine got V710, both on e90 LCI sedans. I think VB3 looks way better, it's much more refined when sitting on the car.
