Need Opinions for new rims?

Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase new rims for my 2012 BMW N55 E92 335i Coupe but I'm stuck between 2 choices.

1) Forgestar F14 SDC
2) RSV Forged S|1 RS10

I'm looking for the specs 19 x 9.5 +22 in the front and a 19 x 11 +25 in the rear.

Also, keep in mind that my car is a Sapphire Metallic Black, so I'm looking to get the rims in a silver/titanium color.

Please feel free to include pictures if you have any! and If you have other rim recommendations feel free to tell me. I was also considering the Varrstoen ES1's but not to crazy about them.

Not sure if I'm a fan of lips but I dig concave.

What tires are you running rear? Your offset should be closer to 40 rear 30 front. I'd anything that will fit tire wise with those offsets.
I have 19x8.5 et 30 front with 235/35-19 and 19x9.5 et 37 with 275/30-19 rear and I'm barely fitting.

I'm looking at 19x9 et 30 with 245/35-19 front and 19x10.5 et42 with 305/30-19 rear with fender roll and stretch.

Front Tires: 235/35/19
Rear Tires: 265/30/19

There are plenty of E92s running this setup without a problem.

I will do all the necessary fender work that is needed to make these work! Lol

This is what I'm running, with no problems at all. Now I'm looking into what size spacers I can get away with & have no rubbing and a flush look. 2011 e92 m sport suspension.

Tires are fine, just the offsets I'm concerned about. I have about 8 mm clearance on the outside. You're going to be right there. Probably take some camber or slight stretch.

Yes definitely the best wheel setup in my opinion for E92s, I also have the M sport suspension but I want to buy coilovers to bring it lower even more to bring the fender to the lip and dial in the camber to about -1.2 to -1.8 degrees.

It will work, roll the fenders, stretched tires and camber of about -1.2 to -1.8 degrees, nothing to excessive and the end result will look amazing. In my opinion its the best rim and wheel setup to have on an E92

Beautiful E92.

Even though I have the Forgestar's the RSV would get my vote. The Forgestar's are becoming too common here.

That's what I said lmao!

Not sure if I'm a big fan of the lip though, I prefer concave, but it definitely is a tough choice, however, there is a big difference in price.

I was quoted about $1,500 for the Forgestars and about $2,800 for the RSV Forged..

Stick with 18" on a 3-series. 8-8.5" up front, 9-9.5" outback....

I'm not a fan of concave. I'm a lip guy. RSV gets my vote. And definitely not 18s. That battle has been fought to many times. Personally I'd go 18s only if I lived in pothole central.
