cheers for the reply mate, do you think i should get them. would you get them?

i have to pay 765 pound as they have to be shipped from the us. i cant find them no where in the uk

[Whack01]

Just my opinion but they remind me of the type you see on japanese cars. Lexus or evo. Not my cupa. Either way like they say life would be boring if we all had the same opinion!!

true mate. i did look for a few other alloy that i liked but every one has them and i want some thing different. i havent really seen these in the uk and loads of guys have them in the us from this forum.

what sort of alloy's would you go for?

cheers

They are very Japanese but they really work.

They look great on the E90 but I have a feeling the abrupt lines won't work on a E92.

[Whack01]

Have been doing a lot of searching for wheels myself lately and at the moment these are in the lead

I know they are similar to CSL's but think they are just different enough to be worth a punt. When I have the cash that's what I'll be going for.

(not sure if the link is working but they are the GTS race editions on BMautosport site for e90)

[makkan00]

They look Cheap IMO.
What if EVO or any japanese car had something like that?

There is nothing exceptional about wheels.
It is E90 which made these wheels look good on it and no the other way around.

What alloys would you recommend mate

[makkan00]

Get
313

or

Csl
or

VMR 710
or

AMG style

In this era of competition, you are going for basic simple 90's style wheels.

[Mart1000]

How about Cades Apollo wheels if you like spokes. Dont see any e90s with them on really. Quite concave too. Have a look at the bmautosport web site there's loads on there for the e90.

[Kerr]

Both 313 and csl reps can look good.

However they are getting a bit tired looking after seeing so many.

I so think the OP should have a go at those wheels.

[G82Dude]

Chavvy!

[ChrisNI]

Check out Varrstoen wheels much nicer same design and better widths and offsets

hahaha Ive been running these on my e90 for 4 years now. Still think they look the nuts. They are different.

To O.P if your asking for opinions then yes the wheels you showed do look like volks jap car wheels. But thats the beauty of it, no one else has it. Its more important about how you feel about the wheels than anyone else.

Although looking at the pics on their website i think the wheels would suit the car if you were also to add say darklines, a front splitter, carbon diffuser and boot lid lip... that kind of thing, as theylook like they belong on a modded car.

P.s there is nothing wrong with jap cars.. Im planning on swapping the E90 for a R35 next year.

[Mart1000]

Pics please AP how do you rate them quality wise?

[MalM3]

i´ve noticed a few of these designs recently
i think this is where the wheel trend is heading actually

[Desmondo]

I like them a lot and I'd certainly stick them on mine.

[zltm089]

I like!...

but what about their quality etc?...
