Getting new wheels

I own a 2007 328i sedan. I'm looking to get rid of my current Stock rims. I was looking for some cheap black rims size 18" or 19". Anyone know any good sets for less than $1,000? What about these replica m6 rims on eBay are these solid rims? Has anyone here ever purchased them?

I personally would not buy wheels from eBay, but that's just me. If you're looking for some rather inexpensive wheels, I'd recommend just about any of the VMR wheels, classy and subtle look yet not too much. Something that most people can appreciate and I recommend European Autosource. I just got a set for like $800 after shipping for all 4 wheels.

First I'd check if black wheels would look decent on arctic blue. In my mind I'm not seeing the two colors mesh well. Hyper silver would be a good bet imo

As one of the hottest wheels in the BMW community today, these M6 wheels look great on just about any car. The beautiful five spoke design provides an elegant, yet aggressive look, just as they were originally intended to be for BMW's V10 M6. The nature of the wheel also allows them to appear larger than they actually are which gives your car a meaner stance.

I would definitely think twice before purchasing wheels on ebay. I can tell you personally that we reject about 40% of the wheels that do come into our warehouse during our quality control process. These wheels are typically the wheels that you'll find on ebay for cheap and is what's considered as B or C stock wheels with blems on them.

The Silver/Gunmetal is the most popular choice and in my opinion does look the best. You do get the contrast between the wheel and the two tone finish makes the face of the wheel appear larger than it actually is! The 18" setup will work perfectly on your car and seeing how your in NY, this may be the route to go as I do understand that you guys have some terrible roads and pot holes. Going with an 18" wheel will allow for you to run a tire with more sidewall to protect the wheels from road hazards. However, the 19" setup does look the best. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of my customers E90 with the M6 style wheels for you guys to check out!

OP,

Have you take a look at our line of VMR Wheels? We do offer 18 and 19" sizes within your budget.

Here's a photo of our V710's and V701's in MB.
