LC-818 rims or other suggestions.

robc1976 · 06-19-2012, 01:18 AM

I have a few questions, I am really liking the look of the LC818 but I want a gloss finish...(not a satin/matte finish type guy) there a bit dull for me or are they? I have a 2007 E90 335i in montego blue with glossy grills, trim, exhaust tips ect and want the wheels to match. I have 225/35R/19 up front and 265/30R/19 in back on BMW 190 rims. I am looking for glossy finish, black concave with agressive pattern (no 5-stars) and in 19"

Here are the rims, any other suggestions would be appreciated I tried searching but to be honest I would rather get good options from someone here who knows good rims...to easy to get a cheap set of rims.

Linea corse 818 is the best looking csl style wheel IMO if you like them enough get them powdercoated.

Personally I think it would look best in hypersilver with chrome grills and tips but that's just my opinion and obviously yours is different.

Might want to email them at wheeldude.com maybe they can get you a good price on custom finish.

Miro 111's are very similar and I think I have seen them in gloss black.

Are they as concave as the 818?

No but I've seen someone put all 4 wheels on rear M3 offset to get the most concave.

bmw325i · 06-19-2012, 01:55 PM

Most cast wheels have the same amount of concavity (is that a word lol) regardless of the offset.

So the miro 111 has the same concavity (it is a word now lol!!) as LC818?

bmw325i · 06-19-2012, 02:48 PM

No I'm saying that getting the miros in m3 offsets won't make them any more concave.

Gotcha, I pmed he wheel dude and have no response yet to see if I can get them in gloss....will email him.

BoostedE90 · 06-20-2012, 01:22 PM

If your going for concavity LC 818's are probably your best bet. The miro 111's are very similar. Also 359's aren't bad and VMR has a few concave designs.

Here's a link to LC 818's in M3 offset:

And here's a link to a post of all Miro 111's for a comparison:

I don't think M3 offset will fit with my 265/30/19 though but looks good!
