I want to get rid of those whimpy wheels that my g/f has on her 325, other than ACS, what other wheels (brands, style) do people usually get on BMW's?

It seems that there are only certain ones that actually look good on bimmers. Any suggestions and if so where is a good place to buy? thanks

Try the wheels and tires forum or the photos forum for pictures on different colors.

The OEM 162's are very popular. They are easy to clean and a great look standing still or in motion...

depends on your taste i believe..if you like fewer spokes like i do, i'll go with hamann pg2 or 3, hre 5series, iforged or radenergie r10 (if you've the budget definitely go for it)
if you like mesh then bbs is worth it..for lightweight go for bbs or wheels made by rays engineering
if you're on a budget and dont wanna spend too much, get the good replicas..Moven is decent, i just went for a high speed balancing and no more vibrations whenever i go above 85

if you want to look stock, OEM style 162 would be nice and check out www.bmwwheels.com
hope this helps and good luck

there are soo many out there. Personally i'm a fan of Breyton Vision wheels, but they are heavy and fairly expensive

Hey, thanks all for your opinions. I was actually really just considering upgrading to the 162's because they are OEM and they have a really nice look to it. But, I just figured if I'm going to be spending money on upgrading, why not spend a little more and see what other options I have. I think I'm just gonna get the 162's but doesn't hurt to ask others who know a little more. THanks again for your help
