Can't figure out if I want to replace my vmr v801s with oem 193ms

CRUSHER_MKVIII · 01-17-2022, 02:55 AM

Opinions?

CRUSHER_MKVIII · 01-17-2022, 02:57 AM

Also, I gutter rashed a rim. What colour should I powdercoat?

I prefer the 193s any day.

OEM+ all the way! just my opinion but I think they are more period correct and fit the car better! post pics if you end up switching, cheers!

I think those VMR's look too big for the car and remind me of the Style 666's, I would go with the 193's.

as an ex e90 with 193s, there is no nicer OEM rim except may be 162s. Keep it OEM!

CRUSHER_MKVIII · 01-20-2022, 02:09 AM

I think I just found the hottest image of my car fully oem.

First I think I should get the 193ms and either raise the kw v3 to max ride height or sell and replace with new oem sport suspension. Thoughts?

193m over v801s all day. they don't really suit it in my opinion.

i replaced my 193s with 359s as they are my all time fave wheels but 193s are still good, bit annoying to clean though.

For sure

While I don't think the VMR's are the best suited wheels to the e90 body style, I think the 193M's are easily the ugliest OEM wheel offered on the e90. Why not go with something like an Apex or Advan wheel?

Bruh on not liking the 193M's. But I think with Apex wheels like the arc-8, It would definitely need to be 17 inch only (Aything above just looks weird to me).

193s all the way

whyzee125 · 01-22-2022, 07:19 PM

193's look like VW Tiguan wheels lol, they don't suit the e90 lines at all

doomfull · 02-08-2022, 12:57 PM

193 clean

POBEP · 02-08-2022, 08:48 PM

IMO, it depends on a body style, color and personal preference

The following swaps made my eye happy:
E90 (grey, lowered): from 193M to 313 (18" version)
E91 (silver, stock): from 285 to 193M
E70: (grey, stock): from 335 to 469M
