New wheels: I can't decide, please help!

Neve24 · 10-23-2009, 05:14 AM

Hi,

I need some help, I'm planning on changing my wheels within the next month. I have a 320i std with a sports bodykit (m-tech), non-sport suspension, sparkling ghraphite in colour, riding on a set of 17" e36 M3 wheels with grey centres.

I'm looking at 18"s & would appreciate suggestions & pics. My main concerns are the best looking design & if the wheels will fill the arches decently.

I was thinking of the 18" e92 m3 reps, m6 reps or a satin black wheel with a chrome dish but I can't decide because I haven't really looked at what else is out there.

I need your help guys!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone will tell you that it really depends on your budget and what you're looking to spend on wheels...that will greatly affect the opinions you get

Hi,

My budget will not be relative as I am in South Africa & most of the wheels mentioned on this site are not on the market or very rare therefore extremely expensive. Basically I'm looking at designs; if I see something I like I will look for a wheel with a similar design.

Does anybody have pics of an E90 on 18" Racing hart Connoisseur RT5 black?

What does "fugly IMHO" mean?

Hey Neve24,

The M3 and M6 style wheels are definetly a great choice. You can also look into CSL or ACS Type V wheels. I'll include some photos for you below.
