230\'s or m3\'s

aw328xi2008 · 05-16-2011, 11:34 AM

At the shop right now and I have to make a quick decision. Driving a AW 328xi e92. Trying to decide between OEM style 230's or replica m3 wheels. Cant post pics because I'm on my phone. Just looking for some quick last minute opinions. Any thoughts?

I have OEM 230's and I love them, they're just simple and beautiful, the M3 wheels have a lot more going on, really personal preference but I don't think you can go wrong.

230s are a breeze to clean, M3 not so much....

230's are heavier, M3 are lighter, but not by much.

M3 are wider on the front... larger rubber, less stagger, better handling - IF you put larger rubber on the front.

The one with m3 offset will look gooder

Is there a reason you can't take your time to decide?
