225M -- more unique and the lighter silver looks great with black, imo.

Both look really good....

....but I'm biased as I have the 230's.

IMO the 230's are more sporty (5-spoke FTW!)

The 225M's are class though.


230's: More sporty, bigger, and much easier to clean!

225M's: Classy, more unique, and better tire options!

You can't really go wrong with either.

Pretty sure the 225M's are 18's last time I checked.....


EDIT: Not that it matters 18' vs. 19'....but still.
Leaning towards 230's eh? Good man.

Actually they are 19's.... the Msport in Canada comes with 19's...they are not available in the US...they have a similar rim but Msport comes 18 only in US

My God those 225M's look amazing. I plan on eventually getting some myself. Very unique thing to have as well.

Second pic is another e90 post member's....Also bad ass.

I'd rather look at the 225s, but I'd rather own the 230s. 225s must be a bitch to clean.

I voted they both look sexy, but I suppose if I absolutely had to choose one I would go with the 230's as I love big open 5-spokes.

I've got 225Ms which I had painted gunmetal. Looks AWESOME with black and easy to keep clean!
