sick of stock 19' 230 wheels for 335!!

s334870 · 11-25-2009, 10:04 AM

I had enough with stock 19'inch 230 wheels!!
They look great but they're cast ones that don't last long!!
so far 3 wheels are bented, I can get them fixed here but who knows when they will bent/break again?

Now I put my hope with after-market forged ones to fit on my E93 335 AW
and I am old-school that prefers star-style wheels,
following are choices I found so far:

360 Forge 5-Spec
Neez 5-model
HRE 845R

anyone got similar wheels on your E9x?
appriciated if you could share your experiences or pics

I have style 230's on my car and i hit some pretty nasty potholes before but no damage to the wheels at all. THey are a pretty sturdy set of wheels I must say.

well....hear me out~
I've used the 230 for 20 months,
I noticed the tyre air leaks and realized that one wheel was damaged and causes the leak.
Took the wheels to a local shop for fix,
and they also showed me that 3 wheels are bented.

19'inch cast wheels are no hope for me,
so I put my hope on forged ones now
