Opinions: Matte Grey 18" TRMotorsports MT1 wheels on silver E90 ZSP?

jet987 · 01-05-2009, 05:30 PM

I want aftermarket under-$2k lightweight 18" wheels, what do you guys think
of matte grey TRMotorsports MT1 wheels on my titanium silver 2006 325i
w/sport package suspension? I would get them from tirerack, staggered 18x9
rear & 18x8 front with 255/35ZR18 & 225/40ZR18 Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season
tires respectively. Not sure if matte grey wheels match with a titanium silver
car, and wonder how strong these wheels are over bumps and potholes being
only 18.5lbs. Here's a pic of the wheel:

I believe 'mwahlert' has those wheels on his car.

Those wheels were among the top 3 finalists when I was shopping

I think as long as the color of the wheel and car don't match, it's fine. Also, I would go for wider tires with thicker sidewalls, especially if the offset is conservative. Those wheels have quite good feedback the last time I looked around.

I'm thinking of getting the OZ ultraleggeras, and wrap them in 245/40/18. I know that'll fit, it's now a question of opening my wallet

Sharp wheel for sure. They are made by Enkei and are very well made for a cast wheel. I put on the Enkei RPF1's for my snow tires in black. Very light weight and strong wheel as well.

As for color, chekc out my Advans. They're Dark Gun Metallic - so maybe a little darker than the TRM wheels. I think the color contrast looks perfect.

I like the trmotorsports mt1 for my 135i too, I am just a little worried about the offsets. Anyway, does that car above pictured have the MT1s or something else, and will the BMW caps fit the MT1s?

they look damn good, especially on that black e92- but I don't think the offsets will work with the 1
