Here's a teaser, you're gonna get alot more of these posts if you rag on anyone that posts something you don't like.

Hope ur wheels turn out well. GL

Oh boy... I sure am tired of explaining myself. It's like the majority of people on this website only read what they wanna read.
I DONT MIND PEOPLE SAYING THEY DONT LIKE THE RIMS, I ONLY "RAGGED" ON PEOPLE WHO MADE SMARTASS REMARKS THAT WERE UNCALLED FOR there's plenty of people that said they didn't like the wheels and I responded to them without any drama..


And BoostedE90 thanks for your comment and for the heads up. I'm sure those prices will go up well over $3k once u stagger the sizes and custom finish them. Plus tires you'd probably be looking at over $4k. If you got the money to burn I say go for it! These wheels turn heads everywhere I go or park. They look way better in person and are far more unique then a lot of the wheels u see here on this site too (not knocking anybody elses wheels).

^^^sorry but I forgot to answer your tire question earlier. I have Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II. They're about $170 per tire. Not the best of course but they have great reviews and are a pretty good summer tire overall. 265/30 R x 235/35 F.

I'm quite late in joining the party in this thread, but anyway, honestly i think the rims look nice especially in the finish you got them in (even if it isn't what you ordered). Unless you have modded the car since the pics were taken, it goes nicely with the chrome-line exterior trim and front grill. which begs the question... what happened to the matte black grill? I thought you said you had one?

Thanks a lot bro. Yeah I think it goes well with my window trim as well. As for the matte black grill, I just installed it 2 weeks ago and tomorrow I'm going to paint the lower grills. I may still paint the rim centers/face matte black and leave the chrome lips. The guy who made the rims will paint them for free since he messed up so for now I'm just enjoying them as is. Maybe after I paint the grills and give her a nice wash I'll post some pics in the picture thread.

I spent $1300 on tires because that happens to be how much Michelin PilotSport PS2s cost. And if I were you I would have spent 500 bucks more and bought BBS LMs or CHs instead of custom wheels because that's who I am. But I don't have 5 g's lying around, and that's why I'm me and I have a nice set of stock 162s and you have a perfectly nice set of custom wheels which you apparently are very happy and satisfied with.

If we all on e90post could do what we call "constructive criticism" and stop acting like a bunch of kids who just escaped from 4chan, I think the world would be a better place.

And personally, I like those wheels. I just would have instead gone for some nice LMs an an aggressive offset+ MTECH, bit to each his own. Still a nice looking car!


Oh, and if you insult someone for leasing their car that's what we call being a "douche," and your continuing to give BMW owners a bad rep. For an example, see below. So please, keep it kosher.

It's cool. I'm not the one who started with the BS if you read past posts I was very cool with constructive criticism. It just upset me when people were like "oh your dumb u spent xxx and haha". I didnt ask for that, I asked if people LIKED or DISLIKED. And I'm not trying to sound like I'm rich because I'm far from it, but I have a very good job and so does my fiance so, I could burn $4k on rims right now lol. M-tech is nice but I'm waiting for something different to catch my eye as of right now. And I agree about making fun of people who lease etc. Thats just dumb lol

Sorry I took so long getting back to u. You are correct they are staggered:
8.5" x 19"F and 10" x 19"R
offsets I'm not too sure since they were built I'd have to ask the shop. I'll text him and see if he knows off hand. The rears are a little aggressive I know because too much weight in the car an they rub a little. Gotta roll my fenders. After I roll my fenders I'm gonna drop her another inch

funny thread. I'm really enjoying this nonsense.
