Between these three for an F32, let me know what you think as I'm really struggling to decide.

Second ones.

Although I’ve never heard of any of those makes, so are you sure they’re safe?

MarkG_M5Comp · 10-31-2018, 07:18 PM

Third ones look gash so first (CSL style) or the second.
But I'd agree with Tim - why not look at CM Wheels who are known and offer decent discounts.

Can't be certain. Watched a few review videos and they seem okay. Can't afford £1k+ rims currently.

Will have a look

Just pulled up their website and looks very promising! Thanks for the suggestion

Found these which seem to be exactly the same as the first link on the OP

I do quite like them.

Chris offers a discount for forum and Facebook group members so be sure to ask for an updated price.

Personally I would buy some actual BMW wheels and have them refinished or powder coated. Cheap aftermarket wheels (not the sexy quality ones) always look so out of place on a our BMW's...

sspade · 10-31-2018, 08:11 PM

1st or 2nd FOR SURE.

Im leaning towards 1st.

Ive always liked that "spider web" design. I would definitely wear those... and 2nd most likely. Would NOT consider 3rd.

kzg1969 · 11-01-2018, 01:55 AM

1st or 2nd for me

When i was looking, CM did seem to be quite well rated by users.

your last set are near £900. If that is in your budget, and you are concerned about generic wheels, then why not look at Veemann - a good selection at <£800

Skyhigh · 11-01-2018, 03:23 AM

I don't like either of the 3 to be honest. The first two belong on a VW Golf 3. The third is nice, but I don't think it will suit F3x. Needs to be seen on the car to tell.

Mrklaw · 11-01-2018, 03:36 AM

First set for me - CSL style so proper BMW. Second set look a little too much like Oz Superleggeras so remind me of Scooby wheels. Third are just...no.

RobUK · 11-01-2018, 06:09 AM

Style-wise I'd go for the Gravity Ten wheels (2nd pic)... that said, I'm not a fan of black wheels - for me you lose the detail unless close-up and they always remind me of people with silver wheels who can't be arsed to clean them.

But if black's your bag, go for whatever floats your boat - it's your money so only your opinion counts

Lorcan · 11-01-2018, 06:16 AM

Last set for me. They are the only ones with any kind of quality approval or load rating so they are the only ones that you know will be safe. Made in Germany, not China. And I like the fact that they look different. CSL wheels have been done to death and don't look right on F3X IMO.

Lagemba · 11-01-2018, 06:26 AM

Thanks for all your opinions, will definitely take them into consideration and will make a decision today

2JPW · 11-01-2018, 06:28 AM

First set for me. I have similar as a winter set.

sensible · 11-01-2018, 06:46 AM

Do you know Where do CM source there wheels from ?

Russbmw · 11-01-2018, 08:38 AM

COuld always look at BMautosport as well.

I've used Mark for years without any issue with any of his wheels.

He also takes certain wheels (depending on his stock levels) in part exchange, which might broaden your horizons a little in terms of what you can afford.

Also means you're more likely to get a decent brand such as Inspiri.

Personally, I'd say 2nd ones style wise.

Lagemba · 11-02-2018, 06:19 AM

Does anyone know how to check the offset and rim width so that I don't need to purchase new tyres when I come to fit these rims? Thanks
