What do you think of these wheels?

makkan00 · 04-12-2013, 06:04 PM

Tempted!

YES or NO?

Who makes those wheels?

m1bjr · 04-12-2013, 06:13 PM

Nice.
A bit different.
Which on an E90 is unusual in itself.

Brycie · 04-12-2013, 06:16 PM

Yes from me they look really good, nice stance could perhaps do with rear spacers though

gIzzE · 04-12-2013, 06:35 PM

No.

Jedimindtrix · 04-12-2013, 06:48 PM

Yes,

MEGA · 04-12-2013, 08:16 PM

They remind me of some strange hybrid between CH-R and CSL style.

I'm not sure I like them. I don't hate them but I'm not sure I like them either.

N0Chill 335i · 04-12-2013, 09:01 PM

Yes. So tired of seeing the same boring CSL or other BMW style rims. Very nice.

sylonien · 04-12-2013, 09:48 PM

I like.

alzieboy · 04-13-2013, 02:33 AM

I like them

a11y · 04-13-2013, 02:51 AM

Yes. Different but in a good way.

Toughtop · 04-13-2013, 03:23 AM

Suspect they're 19's, but spokes are so thin/tidy design, almost look like 20's..

Nice

makkan00 · 04-13-2013, 03:33 AM

Thanks to all of you who commented. They are bit different and don't look bad. I'm not sure if I should go for it. I felt as Mega mentioned

They are Niche wheel and sold by one of the vendor on this forum.

In UK, it can be bought here or here.

Not sure if they are worth of that price.

Yes, they are 19's. And it can be bought in 20, 21 and 22 sizes.

Ste133 · 04-13-2013, 04:18 AM

I like them Sam. Could be worth digging out more pictures to see what they look like on a different colour car. Tiag coloured cars can pull off a lot of wheels...

225_AB · 04-13-2013, 06:29 AM

Can't really make my mind up. Do like them because they are different, perhaps a different colour?

They are new and not on many cars. I've found only one more photo on M3 and wheels are black (not my type). I've seen them on Porsche and other cars but that does not give you any idea how they would look on our cars.

Can somebody (who is expert on Photo shop) change the colour of the car to Black please?

makkan00 · 04-13-2013, 07:12 AM

My Favorite wheels at the moment are Morr MS5.2 Forged wheels (see these). But they have to be imported from USA.

The one I posted at the start of this thread looks similar to Morr wheels so, are they as good as Morr?

How about this or this?

This is how they look on a different car.

Today could be your lucky one

Baan Velgen do the Morr MS5.2, so you can avoid all the costs associated with importing from a non EU country.

Both Morr wheels and the ones you linked to are 3 piece forged in aluminium,so it's difficult to ascertain which of the two is better than the other,if that is the case at all.

The Morr wheel is expensive in comparison to the Niche wheel,but you have more choice on colour availability.

Personally I'd go with the Morr wheel,in gunmetal it is a stunner,and in the UK will be fairly unique.

Fill your boots,and don't wimp out

Cyprio · 04-13-2013, 07:55 AM

Hmm, I'm not sure Sam, probably 'no'.
To me they look more suited to an e92/93
It sounds like you're not completely sure yourself, so hold fire for a while Fella and give it plenty more thought.

Steve.

A_P · 04-13-2013, 08:07 AM

Guys. Mak. Ian.

The niche and the Morr are both Forged wheels. Meaning then then will be very light. I highly doubt it is 800 or 1200 a set more like that is the price per wheel.

If you do go for forged Mak, the weight reduction alone will give a totally different ride.

P.s If it was me, and I was dropping that kind of money and it had to be this kind of style. it would be the BBS FI or the HRE equivalant simply because whilst the rim and spoke design is same the concavity is stunning.
