CLS preferably.... but since that isn't an option I say Hyper Silver M5 in Gunmetal.

IMO, the e46 M3's 18s are , but I love the 19s.

Me likey:


Hyper Silver M6 rims (I think they are 18s, maybe 19s):


Dunno, the M6s look OK, but with your car being black, you should get the black and white BMW logo center caps, not the blue and white logo.

Wisc Badger

those are the machined M6's

they have black accents on them.

hyper silver would be ALL silver on the wheel with no accents

godfather2

black on black is getting played out

Wisc Badger

you might be right godfather

Get Style 162 - replica available for 800$ a set (Morr). Here is one like mine (bought it yesterday night! ) Needs a suspension drop like the Sport package to look really good.

out of all of these- the time attack m6 are my favorite

Wisc Badger

always loved these wheels... however if you own a 335i or 335xi chances are that you have them stock on your BMW - which would mean the "UNIQUE" I'm looking for would turn into "BLAND" because it would look like every other E90 on the block.

Saintor

I prefer 'good look' to uniqueness anytime.

Wisc Badger

Anyone have an opinion about these???



better or worse than the ones being considered?

Wisc Badger

heres what they'd look like on the car:

silver:


or after painting them a darker gunmetal color:

Saintor

It looks el cheapo rims from Tirerack.

Wisc Badger

ok... but they're 18's off of an E39 5 series

Wisc Badger

guess they don't do anything for anyone

Wisc Badger

is 255/35/18 too big for front tires?

if im not getting a staggered set im assuming i should keep the tire sizes the same?

evilone

I think it's very hard to go wrong with the black on black combo!!! plus those m6 wheels are pure sex!! but for the money for the BMW wheels, i think you can find better look after market looking rims

Wisc Badger

we'll see

Crazy Bimmer

yes

Wisc Badger

so even if all the rims are 18x9 I would need to go smaller in the fronts? any tire size recommendations for the F if I'm using 255/35/18 in the rear?

EuRTSX

Just get the M6 Black rims.

Wisc Badger

even if i do, i'm not sure if its a staggered set so I'll need to address this issue no matter what I decide to get.

Infamous425

they look very dated

charliemike

Dude, I actually like them.

Wisc Badger

ok mixed reviews... we'll see

i cant make a fucking decision to save my life right now.

charliemike

Maybe you could buy some used ones that you might like and if you don't you won't lose your ass

I'm sure someone on the E90 boards is selling aftermarket wheels.

Wisc Badger

most of them are cheap enough that i could resell them if i didn't want them and not loose any/much $.


I really thought the m5's would look awesome until i saw this:

i know they are winter wheels... so the side wall looks huge and they are only 17's as opposed to 18s that i'd get. also they are just plain brushed silver color not gunmetal but it just doesn't look right to me so now i'm scared to pull the trigger.

don't do the 540 sport package wheels, and dont do the e39 m5wheels. i'd go with the black m6 wheels, havent seen that on the road yet. seen a few e46-e90's with hyper silver m6 wheels.

Wisc Badger

anyone know if am i going to need wheel spacers too?

as ive been deciding about the rims and whatnot... i came across a tool to help me figure out how the new wheels/tires will effect the car and how it will fit. Sizing tool

stocks are 7 wide 34mm offset and tires are 205/55/16
new wheels are 8 wide front and either 8.5 or 9 in rear, 20mm offset and 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.

as you see below it says i'll have less clearance and the new tires will stick out more. should i just measure and see if they will fit without spacers so they dont stick out TOO much or just use spacers.

im so confused, never done bigger rims/tires before.

Wisc Badger

I just might... not into the red lip though


either that or maybe get some silver ones and have um painted gunmetal... i'm justnot sure im the kinda guy who can pull off black rims on a black car

evilone

Really? I like how the red lip throws just right (tiny) amount on contrast in. But, hey its your car do what you think is best, not what us treegoats think!

yea i'd say the e62-63 m6 wheels would be the way to go... in any of the three colors listed. they look good on the new 3's. you're right, black with black wheels may be hard to pull off, but i'd sure try!

Wisc Badger

no dice... unless i paint um myself.

the 2 sellers on ebay said they only carry glossy black w/ red lip.

oy what a thread... im almost tearing my hair out

nicholbr

+1 black M6. Not sure why but they're making me a little excited in places they probably shouldn't.

Are you a member of e90post? It seems like you can find all the information you'd need from there.

stangg172004

black M6 w/o the ugly red...

Wisc Badger

not an option unless i try to take it out myself (which I guarantee will end badly)

Wisc Badger

ya i am but people over there dont take much interest in answering questions... at least my questions.

Wisc Badger

Just picked these up. they are OEM rep 19" m6 wheels in machined silver w/gunmetal accents. The sale came with general UHP summer tires (fronts are 235/35/19 and the rears are 265/30/19) and i got a steal on them.

heres some pix from the sellers car, which was actually the same as my e90.





Now all I need to do is mount some TPMS sensors on them and wait until we get some warm weather.

When do you guys with 2 sets of wheels/tires take off the winters and go with the summer rubber?

evilone

Yeah I do like those wheels. Gratz on the find!
