Here we go.. dont really like the design of this wheel but that dish is the sort of thing we need




but again if I had the cash then maybe these HRE's could do the job

['V']

That's the ticket

[MAN15H]

Indeed but that ticket is way out of my budget

By the way I got these images from http://projexuk.com/ website.

That site is full of inspiration and then massive disappointment when you realise the price is going to be huge

['V']

Yeah. I emailed them with a long list of choices of their site.
Their reply was something along the lines

Hi Andy,
You certainly have expensive taste.
You're first choice is £1500 each wheel. Do we need to list the others for you?

Many thanks


Not that it's any of their business what I can and can't afford but I'm glad they stopped at the 1st choice

Surely this is end of the thread now.........

On time, in budget, in your colour of preference and wheels only............

['V']

Nice try mate but as mentioned earlier in the thread.
The RS with a stepped lip just doesn't do it for me. RS style without a stepped lip look awesome but can't find any.
The hunt continues.......

[Marshall878]

I prefer the LM...less spokes.

['V']

Bit more common but may have to go this route as they are more readily available.

I really want LMR's, RGR's or RSGT's or something similar. Going off the stepped lip tho which makes it more difficult to find.
Maybe we can have suggestions of other deep lip alloys that suit the e9x (specifically e92)

['V']

Calibre vintage?

[MAN15H]

They look a little similar to the BBS RS dont they...? Still nice wheels.

I wish those RGR's or RSGT's reps were available from somewhere.

Anyone else have any links to someone selling these reps..?

['V']

Yeah. I've searched and searched and searched for these. Found a set of RGR but wrong PCD
Was thinking of a set of these calibre with a custom paint job.

['V']

Or I've just seen that you can change the PCD using adapters. Has anyone done this? Might guess they're a bit like wheel spacers????

[AWBimmer]

Yes it's doable but added expense of upto £400 mate.. not ideal but if you can get wheels cheap enough then you're onto a winner..

['V']

£400, forget that idea then.
This sucks! I can't find any bloody wheels
Gettin annoyed now

['V']

Will ET 25 on the rear rub on a non-m e92?
Wheels 19, 9.5 et 25
Tyre 265/30/19

[AWBimmer]

ET is just about flush, but if your lowered and you run a 265/35, you may rub.. not much but you may... Stick to 255/30 OE BMW size and you should be fine... otherwise get your arches rolled..

['V']

Not lowered yet and I'll only be lowering to msport from SE.
Already got tyres so have to stick to 265/30

[MAN15H]

What size wheel can you get on the front of an E90..? Can a 19x9.5 et40 fit without any issues or modifications..? or is that just not happening.

I was looking at the TSW Valencia but the fronts I was quoted are 19x8 et32 and rears 19x9.5 et40. Although the rears look great with a 3" lip the fronts look terrable from the picture on their website.. its listed as having a 1.5" lip but the pic make it look like its almost a flat wheel..?



Is that really what a 19x8 et32 would look like or is that just a bad photo..?

['V']

The difference between 8 and 8.5 is pretty noticeable IMHO.
9.5 is a huge leap again. Although, I quite like the contrast from a really deep lip on the rear to something more shallow on the front.
It's probably a deeper lip than you think when you see them on the car.

Nice wheels tho, look like a chunky LM

[old grey steve]

I hear what you're saying V. I'm on the lookout for LMR's if all goes well this is roughly what I'll end up with. As this cars the same colour as mine





this is the end result I'm kinda after, no stretch on the tyres just a nice subtle end result.

[MAN15H]

I had confirmation from TSW that they actually do look like that. I actually like a little deeper dish on the front as well as rear.. search continues I guess.

These are a little like the BBS LM but without the step lip..

[MAN15H]

I love the LM-R as well but just cant find them.. If you know a shop thats selling them for a reasonable price please post up the link.
