TSW Maribeau in matte black on a 2012 E92... - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Just picked her up from the wheel shop. I like them A LOT. Very clean and minimalist. I liked the many versions of the Avant Garde M310 (VMR and TSW also had similar) but wanted less metal and less busy. I love the OEM Style 313's but they are EXPENSIVE no matter how you try to acquire them, and I really wanted to try either a dark gunmetal or matte black finish and the 313's don't come that way.

I went with 19 x 8.0 in front (stock size) and 19 x 9.5 in the rear (.5" wider) and re-used my (almost new) stock tires of 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. Fronts remained the same and the rears stretched just ever so slightly and I lost a little bit of lip protection. But nothing super-aggressive in terms of stretch and that's something that was important to me. I hate the look of the wheel lip sticking way out beyond the tire. JMHO.

Nice! Spacers would do them justice, can't see them way in there!

side note: the way I read Maribeau sounds like an asian fob trying to say Malibu lol!
