What wheels are you getting?

metrickid · 02-19-2016, 08:20 AM

For the cool kids who will buy after market wheels, what are you planning on getting?

miiipilot · 02-19-2016, 09:57 AM

I like a few VMRs:
V703
V708
V713
V804
VB3

I Love HRE RS101, but at nearly $10000, I cannot do!

VMR is a great option now when they have flow formed wheels. Hard to beat the price and wheels you get for it.

Forgeline GT3c. On my car now and will test fit if I still have them when the car comes in. I think full brushed on AW will look nice. Specs are within range too.

BBS is coming out with a 19" version of the CI-R shortly. A little over $2k per set, which I think is reasonable.

Wheels are just so expensive nowadays if you want to get nice ones. I'd love to see HRE Classics 305 on an M2. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think they'd look great:

In reality though, everyone should probably be boring and stick with stock ones. It's free, it's forged and it's light.

David@ActiveAutowerke · 02-19-2016, 02:43 PM

If the brakes will allow it, I have a set of 18x10 et25 NT-03M's with 275/35/18 R888's waiting to go on!

That setup will look so mean

Denk · 02-19-2016, 06:36 PM

If and when, I'll go with HRE again or the silver 437's. Love the P43's, my number 1 choice.

I know. It almost sucks that BMW is making their wheels so awesome and light. Makes it harder to find lighter wheels without spending your retirement!

metrickid · 02-20-2016, 01:11 AM

I agree with a few people above here that a lot of people will stay stock now when they both look awesome, are of a decent width and forged.

Stock wheels are boring though...

I like the Vorsteiner VV-103 in 19". I guess they weight 22.2 (9 or 9.5?) front and 22.4 (10.5)rear. I believe that's lighter than the M2 wheels. What are the stock weights? 22 something front and 24 something rear?

BMW claim that they weigh 21.9 / 22.7.
PSI put them on a scale and got 22.2 / 24.2.

The Vorsteiners look great too. I have yet to decide what I want but I have a full month or so to decide.

I've always been a fan of the V705's. Nice clean five spoke.

But I do like the stock wheels. I might just get them painted all black in gloss and get rid of the machined part.

The V705 will look nice on LBB!!

RingMeister01 · 02-20-2016, 12:00 PM

BBS FI-R. Cause I'm whore like that.

Hope they fit, they are reasonably moderate for an aftermarket setup so if any M3/4 wheel will fit it is the FI-R.

zsoci75 · 02-20-2016, 03:27 PM

My favorite wheels...

Honestly, the only way I'd be able to make it work is to buy them used. But even then, HRE's are so expensive. I was able to get them for the E92, but the prices seem to have gone up significantly with these new ones.

Spending $7-8k on wheels for a $200k car makes sense. For a $55k car, not so much. On my salary anyway

Pyrat 2 · 02-22-2016, 07:02 AM

What I want and what fits may be two different things. What I want is the TE-37 SL. On the tire side I'd like to get 255 or 265 in front and 275 in rear. Will be interesting to see how much space there really is to work with. That will dictate what wheels are even an option.
