Cannot decide on wheels

mholmes205 · 08-16-2007, 11:21 AM

I need your help here. I know that everyone hates the "I cannot decide and I need your help" posts, but I really do. I have been shopping for a new set of wheels for 3+ months now for my e92, and I really think that I have it narrowed down to two wheels. I am looking at the V715 wheel and the BRS Style wheel. I am really torn between the two. So much so that I cannot make up my mind.

I have also toyed with the notion of getting the M6 style wheel.

Well, any input would be helpful. The first pic is the BRS, the second is the V715 and the third is the M6.

remmib · 08-16-2007, 12:22 PM

I'd go with the V715

e92man · 08-16-2007, 12:38 PM

i personally like the m6 the best but the 715 probably has better quality. the m6 wheels will look big on ur car if u dont drop the car because it is a deep dish wheels. if u r not lowering the car i would def say m6. id u r gonna lower than i would say 715

I feel your pain. I went through the exact same thing. The other thing to consider with a black saph (after wheel style of course) is finish color. This is what I struggled with the most. IMO a black saph looks best with a silver coating (like my soon to arrive Morr vs7's), a gunmetal/smoke, or even a hyper black. It's a tough decision. Good luck!

I would have to agree with Remmib and E92man on this one. M6 replicas wont look as good on your car unless it's dropped real low and your car is pretty modded. I personally dont like the look of the BSR so that leaves me with the V715s.

montreal_bimmer · 08-16-2007, 01:54 PM

i vote M6 reps....

VMRWheels · 08-16-2007, 02:17 PM

V715 Hypersilver with stainless steel lip would look good on sapphire black

SpeedElement · 08-16-2007, 08:27 PM

I think the V715 wheels looks the best out from those 3.

DrGP · 08-16-2007, 10:35 PM

I like them all and have the same problem deciding myself. I have ruled out the M6 wheels because IMHO, there is too much gap between the spokes for my taste. I love the BRS wheels and there are some replicas ( MOVEN) out there but I do not believe that the replicas have the best offsets for the E92. Plus the BRS wheels will be much more difficult to clean. I actually like the BRS wheels better than the VM 715s because the spoke are straight rather than curved. Also, the design of the VM 715s give the appearance of looking smaller due the design of the lip. Have you considered CSL reps which look similar to the V715s but no lip. Have you also looked at the Miro style 366 wheel?

Queenskid24 · 08-16-2007, 10:47 PM

VM 715s takes the cake!

mholmes205 · 08-17-2007, 08:18 AM

I appreciate everyones input, but I placed the order with JLevi last night and I went with the V715, super silver with the machined lip.

I will definitely post pics as soon as they are installed.

I like the Miro style 366 but would have gone with the BRS wheels.

The Cleaner · 11-05-2007, 03:51 PM

I have the same problem.....

phrozen06 · 11-05-2007, 03:57 PM

I'd go with the ///M6 reps because the spokes go all the way to the edge giving the illusion that the wheel is larger than it is. A 19" Lipped wheel looks smaller.

SV Concepts · 11-05-2007, 05:18 PM

True but the V715's are a much "sportier" design. We sell a lot of M6 wheels, but I still think they belong on a larger car. Personally, I don't do spoke wheels on smaller cars. Now... My CLS... that would be on 5 spokes for sure
