new wheel setup advise!!

cuban335i · 03-11-2009, 07:13 PM

hey guys,
Ok well i'm looking for new rims, but I'm torn between 3 different ones. (I am just looking to change my stock 189's and keep the tires... i'm only interested in 18" staggered setup) Money is a big issue as well. I'm a college student and I make ZERO money. I have a Alpine white car and I'm going mostly for the black and white theme.

THESE ARE ALL 18" STAGGERED WHEELS (prices are all shipped to my house):

CHOICE 1: VMR CSL style wheels in matte black - i can get for $825-850

CHOICE 2: E92 M3 18" Replicas (the ones that the e92 m3's come with stock.. they are kind of a gunmetal color) - i can get these for $749

CHOICE 3: M6 Replicas - i can get them for $584

WHAT SHOULD I DO???

CHOICE 3: M6 Replicas - i can get them for $584

WHAT SHOULD I DO???

Here is my advice:

For Choice 1, take a lot at our new CSL wheels before you make a decision so you can compare them both.

For Choice 2, seems like a good option, but why 18"?

For Choice 3, please do not even consider this wheels since they are probably the notorious M6 replica wheels that are bending all over the forums.

well i need 18's because the roads in my area are really really bumpy and have a lot of potholes.. I'm not trying to deal with flats and bent rims again: i also have a range rover sport and last year i put 24" rims on with 275/25/24 pirelli tires and within the first month of driving it, i had 3 flats and 1 bent rim.. it cost me a fortune.. so I'm just trying to deal with some rims that won't bend or the tires won't get flat as easily.. also, i have the bmw protection plan for my wheels and tires and i called bmw and they'll only cover the aftermarket wheels for the 3 years that i paid for if i keep the stock tires (i know it sucks).. so now i have no other option but to get 18" staggered wheels..

choice 1: from what i understand, you don't sell 18" wheels and you don't do matte black... also i need a bargain.. i'm a college student with no money

choice 2: well you know why i want 18's but i'm not sure if the gunmetal will look as good

choice 3: it was just a choice.. i think m6 wheels are played out now anyways..

M6 Reps look good on e92's but between those, I'd go with the matte black CSL reps for sure!
