Rim/Tires Under 2k poll

nbstarpup · 07-19-2007, 12:34 PM

Best wheel and tire package for under 2k for Sparkling Graphite 328i Sedan?

I know I want rims but which ones to buy?

Maybe everyone can help and make suggestions!

spacedogg · 07-19-2007, 12:41 PM

For a sedan...I would suggest the following:

CSL Replicas
M5 Replicas
Breyton Race
MORR Alloy 19" Style 162 Replicas
ASA AR1
M6 Replicas
Used BBS CH's. (with M fitment and fender rolling or non-M fitment with spacers)

Just looking at the for sale forums...this guy is selling his MORR Alloy 19" 162 replica for $600: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73171

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those are Audi B7 RS4 replicas...which would look wrong on a BMW!

Nice looking wheels regardless tho.

nbstarpup · 07-19-2007, 12:57 PM

Yea...it was a nice try I can't get nothing by you guys!!!

Spacedogg thanks for the help but I'm not sure if I'm feeling the MORR's

i got oem m3 19" need spacers in the front.

I don't know, with that budget unless you buy used I would stay stock because good tires will cost you between $900 to $1300. Not much left for good rims.

Good Tires > Rims

nbstarpup · 07-19-2007, 03:05 PM

I had those on my M3. They will look great and VM has excellent quality. Major bitch to clean. Get ready! It added a full 25 minutes to cleaning process.

I wonder why the RS4 reps look so good on the Audis and so poor on the BMWs?

montreal_bimmer · 07-19-2007, 09:42 PM

i'd go M6 replicas.... but there are man wheel websites out there that offer cheap wheel and tire packages....

The same reason why a hot pink shirt looks great on a gay man, but terrible on me.

Yvette · 07-19-2007, 09:51 PM

I would say...

m6 replica
m5 replica
162 19" style rims..
Hartge classic II 19" replica

Yep, I'd get CSLs or some comparable reps in that case.

Well, my total for these at tirerack was 1600 shipped.. I like them on titanium silver but i don't know about sparkling graphite:

They are 19" ASA JH8 rims with BFGoodrich G-force T/A KDW tires

If you do not like the 162 look then....I would try looking at getting either the Velocity Motoring CSL Replicas or Miro M5 Replicas.

If you do not like the look of OEM replica wheels, then look at getting the ASA AR1s.

As for tires, take a look at either General Exclaims UHPs or Kumho Ecsta SPTs.

spacedogg · 07-23-2007, 03:45 AM

Oh...forgot to mention Beyern Mesh...any of the Beyern wheels will fit the E90/91/92/93 nicely and will not cost too much. The Beyern Mesh is probably the most popular design amongst the Beyern line...

Unlike the ASA AR1, a staggered 19" setup in the Beyern Mesh, you will also give you staggered lips (1.5 inch lip in the front and 3 inches lip in the rear). A staggered 19" setup in the ASA AR1s will have same sized lips for front and rear (i believe 1.5 inch lip for both front and rear). Having said that....I personally love the design/look of the ASA AR1s more than the Beyern Mesh...

andhess · 07-23-2007, 04:33 AM

Velocity Motoring V-715's!

Another good suggestion...although I'm not a huge fan of the new V-715s. Maybe it will grow on me though...

Maybe the admins should sticky this thread...we have quite a few suggestions of good budget rims for the beginning modder...
