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

methodtim · 03-10-2009, 04:32 PM

^ I think you mean less is more, but nice post regardless. I agree 100%.

skimmilk20 · 03-10-2009, 04:36 PM

*edits.. lol

I had a feeling you would...

ragingclue · 03-10-2009, 04:40 PM

There are lots of tasteful and, more importantly, light yet strong BBS wheels. Those are not tasteful looking, and they're not BBS so I'd imagine the quality and weight is not on par with BBS either.

thisguyhere · 03-10-2009, 04:45 PM

LM styles are sick and sporty, so i think that may be why it kinda throwing the image off on your sedan which is meant more for luxury and not sporty. In that regards, the 189s fills the luxurious characteristics of the car better than the LM.

if you compare rims to rims, LM style looks better. If you compare the car as a whole, I can see why people prefer the 189 on your car.

Both looks great though. Good thing you didn't get the real deal for 4k huh?

Gig103 · 03-10-2009, 05:43 PM

The stock ones are much better. Even if you didn't have replicas, I'd still choose the OEM.

ianthegreat · 03-10-2009, 05:45 PM

i've always liked the 189's better than most other wheels.. they just look great on our car

djpeetur · 03-10-2009, 06:26 PM

everybody is right. the 189 do look like they belong to my car more than the lm reps. 189's IM INNNNNNNNNNNNN

karliejai · 03-10-2009, 07:30 PM

use the 189 as winter wheels!

smallseafishie · 03-10-2009, 08:28 PM

I love my 189s over all other wheels... The only thing i'd get to replace them would be the e90/e92 M3 19" wheels

or the LM's

. majority is favoring 189 haha

zontos328i · 03-12-2009, 12:14 PM

i like the stock over the bbs. makes them look more sportier.

Mk23 · 03-12-2009, 01:29 PM

Stock 189s look the best with the E9X body style. I have yet to find any aftermarket wheel that looks better. The designers knew what they were doing.

bbs looks like a cheap ricer.

189 FTW!!!!

sykno · 03-12-2009, 09:25 PM

i would take the lm reps over stock rims ANYDAY

m5sparky · 03-13-2009, 01:31 AM

they both look good on the car, bbs looks more aggresive, bu then again your car is not ment to be aggresive lol. they would look killer on an m3 though

That was quite a change of heart you had. Nice to see your strong opinions can easily be swayed by a bunch of people you don't know who have nothing better to do than lurk on forums all day....

skimmilk20 · 03-13-2009, 09:21 AM

I hope thats not the case. I tend to work / check forums at the same time...

I was intentionally exaggerating for the purpose of proving a point.

skimmilk20 · 03-13-2009, 09:37 AM

Oh, okay, then yes, I will reiterate that comment

while I personally believe 189's look better, the honest truth is you should only look to our opinions if you REALLY ARE INDIFFERENT between the two.

If you like one style over the other, just stick with it. It's like when you like a girl. You should really just figure out if YOU like her, its less in important (although kind of important) what your friends think.

ragingclue · 03-13-2009, 09:50 AM

Really OP, if you liked the BBS reps, then you should stick with them. Just because practically everyone on the forum disagrees with you, that doesn't mean you are wrong. It's your car. You look at it every day, you paid for it, and you're modding it to make it "yours."

You asked for opinions and you got them. But if you like the BBS reps better, use them.

Alpine335TT · 03-13-2009, 10:05 AM

lol.. i never knew so many people preferred stock wheels over aftermarket... personally i think the stock wheels look plain and just make your car look like every other on the road.. oh well.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. i love my bbs wheels.. and yes they are authentic... but since they apparently look ricey to you all.. maybe i should sell them
