Dont mind the design of the wheels but look better on a F30, with all the performance kit on

I actually quite like these, Ive always thought 20's look a bit too big on the e9X's though.
A drop and spacing would improve the look, and I bet they look better in the flesh than the photos.

well done for not buying CSL or LM reps!

Sorry not for me either... they're too angular for the lines of the E90 IMO.

There's nothing wrong with LMs or CSLs IMO - yes they've been done to death but there's normally a good reason for a wheel design to become popular - it suits the car!!! I don't see the 405Ms ever having this issue so that's a good thing I guess

Maybe a drop would help these rims sit on your car but for now they just don't look right if you want my opinion...

As you'll brand me as one anyway.

Hate it.

Hate the black with polished cut that BMW seem to like, screams Halfords to me, too big IMO, too sharp, fitment seems a little off.

Haters

Garage List
Offset of the wheels is all wrong for the E90, which is why it doesn't look too good.

You need a min 12mm spacer on the rear to give you an offset of ET35 and a 5mm spacer on the front for an ET31.

You could go more on both the front/rear as they are 8J/8.5J widths,although upsizing the tyres to 235/265 would be a better option. (I'm assuming the tyres are oem sizes?)
