Looking for wheel ideas

Scud · 02-04-2011, 07:19 PM

Evening guys

I'm getting to the point where icant look at anymore wheels, I looked at loads but still cant make my mind up.
I like 19" csl type but it seems they are popular or not within budget, wouldn't look right to Me, not wide enough. I'm stumped.

I would like an aftermarket wheel possibly with tyres for less than 1k, have you got any ideas what would suit a grey E92, 18" or 19".

Cheers

My favourite are the 225 M, or sometimes called MV4, only available in 19".......there again I am biased cause that's what I've got

There just doesn't seem to be much option they either look like csl wheels or bbs multiple spoke

230's look good on a grey coupe

G power wheels are nice!

not a fan of aftermarket wheels, or the implications for insurance.

What wheels do you have at the moment?

G82Dude · 02-05-2011, 11:20 AM

313M!

I notified my insurer of my new wheels. They asked if they were the same size as my original wheels (19"s), with the same size tyre and what the value was. As they are aftermarket, and cost less to replace than my OEM 230's and the same size, it added less than £20 to my premium

+1 on the 230's

i like the classic csl rep wheel, is there any car they don't look good on? They always seem to be perfect on 3 series.

Most insurance will be ok with it, especially if you have 19" already and are replacing them with 19". Also I always make a point of saying "they are worth less money than my current" then they usually don't seem to be bothered.

On a coupe the new 313s look very nice and I believe the genuine BMW ones come in 18" and 19" sizes. However, I've always liked these wheels below which I think are the 199s

There are a set of genuine 313s on ebay at the moment marked up for £750 without tyres. May need a bit of a refurb but overall look tidy.
