Hoping for someone to point out some wheels that I have not seen and taken into consideration before.

Based on your "parts hoarding" tendency, this will not be your first and only set. Lol. I can only speak from experience but you will probably go through phases and different likes and dislikes. Get the set you like best (for this summer) and go from there. You will probably buy and sell them later anyways lol. Not as bad as some of the wheel whores here but I'm on my 4th set. Go with proper fitment and concavity, you won't be disappointed from there.

Haha yeah, I already got 3 wheels I'm going to try next summer. I really liked the m6 reps way back in the day, thinking of getting those as a winter set in 18" maybe... It's going to be a rough summer next year especially considering I wont have much left to change on my car except for my wheels

Yeah, I've seen too much VMR and BBS.

If I had a blue M3 or a Black G37 I would be all over Vossen, just don't think it suits a black car without a widebody.

its all about the finish of the wheels

I have the Vossen VV082 with the black machined finish and it looks amazing. With the regular silver finish it looks horrible.

Same with the VB3's, i think the VB3 should only be matte black or gunmetal. Any other finish and the wheels look whatever to me

i agree with you that the CV3 machined black doesn't look as good on a black e92. That's because the car isn't AW. However if I bet if you saw a pic of the same wheels in the matte graphite or matte black on a black e92 it would look dope

Yup it all has to do with the colour of the car and the finish of the wheel. CV3's on an AW would look REALLY NICE! The black e92 I saw the finish on the CV3's just didn't go with the car at all.

Do you have pics of your car with the wheels on???

Oh and also, I don't like how the Miro 111 look on AW, but I love them on black haha... colour changes everything.

I hear the Miro 111's (reps) bend very easily from moderate pot holes. It makes sense when you look how far spaced each of the 5 stars are. I originally loved those rims and after much research I decided to stay away from them because of that reason. If you are going to go with that look go with OEM, at least they are low pressure cast which makes them more durable.

Some of the Miro wheels are known to be a bit weaker, but the 111's are supposed to not have too many issues.

There is no OEM or higher quality version of this wheel or I would have gotten them a long time ago.

MORR VS8.2. truly. i own a set and can't drool enough. check them out in some recent posts of cars with MORRs. they are the most beautiful wheels i have ever seen and i no more tire of looking at my MORR-wheeled car than i do looking at a beautiful tropical sunset. I have Signature Black wheels on my black 335i and they enhanced the look of my car beyond compare. In fact, now that you triggered my salacious thoughts, i think i'll go out and stare at my car for a while.

My bad, different wheel than I was thinking about. I mistakenly thought the 111's were 942's

Note the bent rim....

Yeah the 942's and the m6 reps have had issues with bending in the past, the 111's are pretty decent from what I hear.

Miro M6 reps and 942's had some issues with quality. For that reason, we never sold the Miro M6 reps.
