OMG my friends favor oem style 199 over BBS LM reps wtf?

djpeetur · 03-08-2009, 12:40 AM

80% of my friends say that my car looks better with the 189 wheels than the LM reps. They even go so far to say that my car looks like a 30k car with the 189's and with the bbs reps my car looks cheap. I just feel like they dont understand the concept of the bbs look with bmws. what do you think?

MCMLXXXIX · 03-08-2009, 12:43 AM

you mean 189s?

they both look nice, hard to choose

machine · 03-08-2009, 12:43 AM

I like the stock wheels better too.

there. theyre saying it looks more like it came out the factory that way. nice and fresh, looking good! like as if thats what the car is meant to have

Donald-335i · 03-08-2009, 12:46 AM

im kinda favoring the 189's also

VTECaddict · 03-08-2009, 12:48 AM

i like the 189's more. the concavity and spokes all the way out to the edge gives it a sportier look IMO. im not a big fan of LM's...the stepped lip makes the wheel look so small...

blue2fire · 03-08-2009, 12:49 AM

I like the stock ones better.

Raja Ventureshield · 03-08-2009, 12:49 AM

who drives the car? you or your friend.

i think the bbs LM makes the car look awesome.
the OEM has standard deluxe look. Nice as well.

Cab5er · 03-08-2009, 12:58 AM

The stockers look a lot bigger in this case. Maybe thats why?

I just did not like the patricular finish of those wheels more than their design.

djpeetur · 03-08-2009, 01:32 AM

yup its sportier. looks better. just the reps looks so yummy when there clean

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 03-08-2009, 01:36 AM

i like them over those bbs rims too.

CaliE90 · 03-08-2009, 01:37 AM

yeah i agree, i actually like the stock ones better, it just makes the car look more classy and refined whereas the LMs throws it off to look like a cheaper mod car. I think wheels like the LMs fit more on the e92s than the e90

Dark_Sub_Rosa · 03-08-2009, 01:38 AM

So you have fake LMs with BBS centercaps? Lame

kstud · 03-08-2009, 01:41 AM

IMO, the BBS LM looks more ricer when compare to the 189/199. Appearances are subjective and depending on who you ask, you'll get different opinions.

djpeetur · 03-08-2009, 01:41 AM

there fake bbs caps. so its ok

Universal_Magnetic · 03-08-2009, 01:47 AM

the 189's look reallly good i guess its a preference thing

VanM3Lover · 03-08-2009, 03:30 AM

189's look better compared with LM's
