Rims for Sparkling Graphite e90

KCX_335xi · 05-17-2011, 10:14 AM

Having a hard time deciding which rims to go with.

Initially, I was dead set on M6 reps in gunmetal/machine face.

I use the car for business as well, when meeting with clients/golfing etc.

Thoughts ?

If you want to go with something nice, clean and classy, there are the M3 and M6 reps. Both are Gunmetal/Machined Face.

If you want more of an aftermarket look, you can go with some AluFelgen, Avant Garde, Miro, and VMR wheels.

Have a look on our website and let me know if there's anything that catches your eye.

I had the same dilemma, the Sparking Graphite colour is not really grey, so Gun Metal is not a perfect match, but I really liked the look. Black is another option. It comes down to what ever your comfortable with.

I ended up getting silver Avante Garde M310's.

Don't do the M3 or M6 rims...over done although it does look nice. I would say go with the VMRs

I went with staggered Rota Torques in black on my SG E90. Partially for the price, but I liked the black on SG look and the wheels have actually been great quality - I've had them for almost 4 years with no problems.

Here's a pic - not my car (thanks to the board member who's it is, can't remember your name), but same colour combo.

I went with 269's on mine, but wish I had went with black rims instead!

BenTrovato · 05-17-2011, 04:29 PM

VMR's! Or something concave with a dark, gunmetal, or black finish

+1 for concave and gunmetal finish.

Fozzy · 05-17-2011, 05:44 PM

+1 on silver or gunmetal...or better yet both. I just got these Avant Garde wheels, going on tomorrow am.

I think any set up can be good for meeting clients etc., as long as it's clean - literally (and not scraping the ground on your KWs).

mine...

KCX_335xi · 05-17-2011, 06:17 PM

KCX_335xi · 05-17-2011, 08:56 PM

Good call . That looks great. M3 and M6 reps are everywhere. Be different.

KCX_335xi · 05-18-2011, 12:12 PM

I haven't seen too many of the M3 GTS replicas I posted... Similar to VMRs

JonasV · 05-18-2011, 12:43 PM

the M3 reps (gunmetal) look sweet... do you have a good location/price to pick these up?

KCX_335xi · 05-18-2011, 01:02 PM

JonasV - I sent you a PM on this...
