Which wheels are best for e92 coupe

FLUTE · 05-11-2011, 03:42 PM

Hi, I'm in the Market for a new set of wheels and would like to ask which you guys think are best suited to the shape of the coupe. I have 230's on at present and look ok with the space grey paint but I want something else. Any ideas and feed back welcomed.

I think the 230 wheels are one of the best suited wheels.

Everyone seems to be buying the same replica csl and bbs alloys at the moment.

I agree,suit the car really well and easy to clean.

230s for me too but guess the OP wants a change. Personally I reckon its hard to beat the OEM look and sizing of the 230 but some of the CSL reps do look pretty good.

giotecno · 05-12-2011, 02:31 AM

Without a doubt 313 style wheels imo.

Nick999 · 05-12-2011, 02:43 AM

Best looking after market wheel got to be BBS LM reps, or if you can aford it the real thing.

BIGTIME · 05-12-2011, 03:10 AM

I like the 313's but I feel they show a bit too much of the discs as they are very open. I think the 225's look the best but as we all know crack (unless BMW have now sorted this). You can get a set of 225 replicas for around £500.

TikoV · 05-12-2011, 04:27 AM

Granted OE wheels are nice and suit the car but for a much more improved look I agree on going aftermarket. There are numerous options for the e92 and you are pretty much spoilt. Personally, I love CSL's as they suit the car perfectly. This is not to say you can't buy a nice set of iforge for £4k but spending that in my opinion is too excessive.

I opted to go for matt black csl wheels as I like the white on black look. Though, bbs and also Breytons are equally good choice.

313's look good on a 335i/d, but not so good on a 320 with 2p coins for discs IMO.

davyk31 · 05-12-2011, 05:29 AM

Agree the 313s look great but need decent brakes as said above, also need hubs in great condition and I also think needs the M Sport body kit to suit the sportier look of the wheels.

Jamie_E92 · 05-12-2011, 06:48 AM

style 189's suit the coupe perfectly,

i think 230's are worth about the same. hey wanna swap?

where do i sign?

lol

I'm going for Cades Tyrus 'staggered' in black with polished lip, however the car is Sapphire black, can't wait to loose the run-fats!!!

Regardless of the brake size unless you get the performance brakes they look shit anyway. Rusty hubs and sliding calipers

TurboBimmer · 05-13-2011, 04:33 AM
