Help me pick some wheels
So I still don't have a set of wheels and I'm having a hard time liking the way a set of wheels look for longer then a week.
I'll see a nice set, think it's SICK for a week and then my buzz will die off and I'll end up liking something else. I have a feeling I may end up becoming a wheel whore ![]() My top choice was the Miro 111, but I've waited too damn long and still can't find them so I'm looking to move on now. The Linea Corse LC818 are similar but also out of stock and the V710's I've seen too many times and they just don't move me the way that they used to. Now having said that... some wheels I looked into were Work t1s, a couple of the 360 forged 5 spoke wheels, and the iconz 830 and 880z. So it seems like having exhausted my options for a meshed wheel I'm now looking into patterns with a lip and maybe an inner mesh pattern. I've looked around for HOURS and HOURS and nothing is really standing out to me. I don't mind wheels with a lip, but I don't want a black face to the wheel and it seems like a polished lip with a silver face looks a bit off on a black car... I dno, guys HELP ME OUT, show me some pics, point me to some threads.. ANYTHING. I JUST WANT SOME FRIGGEN WHEELS ASAP ![]()

Bbs lms if you want lip
Advan rs or te37 gtr face if you want concave Getting low-end wheels will make you into a wheel whore much quicker cause they will either damage quickly or you will want some strong lightweight wheels...my .02 |

The wheels you mentioned are nice in their own respect, but they do nothing for me and I wouldn't really want them on my car.

Work Gnosis HS-202(new for 2011) black spokes with bronze dish.
I was going to pick them up but 8+ week wait time was too long as well as being heavy. I love the BBS CH, going to be my next set of wheels along with some Varrstoen 2.2.2. Try Varrstoen, the 2.2.2 TE37 reps only weigh in at around 26 lbs each. Best luck to you.

Thanks for your input! Most of the wheels I looked into have a long wait period as well and I'm only driving the car until the end of september so I really don't want to buy wheels to only use for a month haha. Maybe I should just buy a nice set of winter wheels? LOL

I'm sure it'd be cool to have a few sets of forged/expensive rims but I'd rather have one nice set and a few reps and oem's so I could swap them out every other day.
LOL look more cool doing it like that bahahah

I personally think the BBS LM's look the nicest on the e92... im probably gonna get a set of LM reps in the winter for next summer. I was thinking of the Varrstoen 8.5 front and 10.5 rear ones.

Not a big fan of the spoke patterns, don't think they suit the e92 very well.

go check their site and see pics for yourself, they look mean!
its either you're going to be like everyone else and get VB3, V710, Miros, BBS LMs, CSL wannabe looking rims, or be original and get something unique 360 forged makes amazing looking wheels, so does Forged1, ADV.1, HRE, and Iforged I dont understand how people put cheap rims on an expensive car. It's like people who put HRE's on a civic. Like what were you thinking lol? |

Seen the website, the wheels look nice on a colour M car... not feeling them on a black non-M e92 at all. Not looking at the usual vmr or bbs reps... there's only 1 other guy around here I seen running the Miro 111 and I just love those wheels, even if they cost triple what they do or half what they do, I would get them simply because I love the design.
