Question Recommend any e90 Non-OEM rims

Just curious if anyone can recommend a set of new rims for an E90 that is not OEM/BMW but would cost about the same as OEM,thanks.

OEM is actually quite expensive - $350-$500 per wheel. Unless it's a lightweight high-performance forged wheel, most wheels will be less than that.

Beyern, Enkei and a few of the others on tirerack.com are quite nice.

Funny thing is, I've actually seen these in person, on a car. I've always wondered if they balanced out like a normal wheel since the shape of the "spokes" is so strange.

Apex wheels maybe? They're the best bang for the buck.

Must have been a fairly popular choice back in the day. The car I saw them on was a CRX at an Eibach meet in 2008 or 2009. Pretty sure they were running them though, purely for shock factor.

There nothing particularly special about the OE wheels on the 325 to justify their high MSRP pricing. They are not forged nor do they have an expensive finish on them. We have quite a few options that would be comparable. You can check them out and view pricing here :

Some of the more popular replacement wheels at a good value include ASA, Bremmer, Enkei, Motegi and Rial.

+1 for Apex wheels. The ARC8's are about as good as it gets bang-for-the-buck wise.

Another vote for VMR wheels. Although I just noticed that VB3 is not listed but rather V703. I wonder if they're the same wheel but different model number?
