19" M3 Competition Style Wheels...choices?

jerflash · 02-02-2011, 07:30 PM

hey guys i have really taken i liking to these wheels. I have been all over the place with what i want and what i want to pay but i think it has come down to these. the price is right...they are 19s...they look awesome.

Im not planning on getting a staggered set because i have an xi and the extra tire and weight in the back is really only going to make my car understeer more. plus since there is no lip there is really no looks reason to get the 9.5s out back. That being said im tring to decide between 235/35/19s or 245/35/19s on the 8.5 rim. i know the 235 is already taller then the stock height but with 19s i think i should get all the tire i can between the rim and the road...NY potholes are awesome. besides im not planing on lowering so the extra tire will fill the well more and i never was a fan of skinny tires. so do you guys think i can run 245s all around without issue?

Also im trying to think of what color i should get. I have a space gray coupe so i know the silver ones will look nice but would also like input on the gunmetal. Not so into the matte black on my color car but open to input.

I don't care for matte black rims, especially with space grey. I think the silver ones look classy and the gunmetal are just the right amount of aggressive with SG. I would choose between one of them...but that's just my .02.

jerflash · 02-02-2011, 09:19 PM

ya like i said i feel the same way about the matte black on the SG. you pretty much have the same feelings i do about the other colors as well. lets she what other have to say

i also have heard some people say that with the smaller brakes on the 328s that 19s look silly with the big gap...anyone have an opinion on that...never really seen the 19s on a 328

ModBargains.com · 02-03-2011, 02:29 AM

The E9X M3 Competition style wheels are sporty and classy, which make them a perfect wheel choice for those who want an aggressive wheel while maintaining an OEM look! My recommendation is to go with the silver finish on your SG coupe. Gunmetal would definitely be out of the question as it's going to simply just blend in with the rest of the wheel. However, I do want to let you know that the wheels are ONLY available from the supplier in a staggered setup as they do only bring them in that way. The setup that is going to work perfectly with your 328xi is the 19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/35/19 in the front and 19x9.5 ET35 with a 265/30/19 in the rear. I'll go ahead and shoot you over a PM with more details!

I think you should consider getting fatter rims in the back (9.5 or even 10),
if you have already made up your mind for 8.5 then you should go silver, because i don't think the other color would look good with the 8.5

jerflash · 02-03-2011, 07:16 PM

well i dont think i will be able to get the 8.5s all around from any seller. i dont mind the staggered i was just thinking it would be cheaper on tires since i have an xi. I think i will probably go with the silver though either way...just tring to figure which tires to go with now and when im going to buy

i'm looking for a deal on those rims too, but i'm trying to find how they will look on an xi without a drop

jerflash · 02-03-2011, 10:52 PM

well i wont be dropping my xi...kinda defeats the idea behind having an awd car to me. i like being able to plow threw a foot of snow with nothing but stock all seasons. besides its my everyday car...be it a beautiful, sexy, nimble little bitch lol

Fraggy · 02-03-2011, 10:58 PM

Those are beautiful wheels, certainly on my list.

classy335i · 02-03-2011, 11:34 PM

Are there any photos of this wheel on an e92 coupe? My car is SG too and I am trying to figure out what wheels to buy. Thanks.

jerflash · 02-03-2011, 11:38 PM

all that did was make me wanna spend more money and roll my fenders to get the stock wheels...those are just pure sex lol. im sure the reps will do me just fine though since i will be saving about 1500 bucks.

i was also thinking about getting the wheels off of the 320si from turner. 1560 for a set of real bmw wheels that no one around you will have and fit perfect. also really dig the finish on the stock bmw wheels

would like to see them on a e92 SG but i dont think the pic exists lol

a reason they look so good on that car is because of the drop too, but they are probably the best looking rims for an e90/92

the second rims you posted, i'm not sure they look a little too small. i think 19" is the perfect size for e90/92s

jerflash · 02-04-2011, 03:45 PM

well the second wheel is made for the e90 and is a 7 spoke so not like the m3 wheel. but they are made by bbs which is pretty awesome

just get the m3 reps which are made for the e90/92 (offset wise). i checked ebay and they seem to have the m3 reps for 649 + 100 shipping compared to some of the vendors which are looking to get 800-900 + 100 shipping

i just know i'll need rims, tpms, and tires so i'm looking for deals on any one of those items
