E92 Wheels, Lip or no Lip... (Long)

Jamez · 10-25-2006, 04:01 AM

Hi all,

Taking delivery of a spacegray E92 in december.
The tough choice is Lip or Spokes...
In my quest for new springtime wheels ive narrowed it down to these:

5 Spoke look
M6 Replica: the latest pictures of this has me torn, sometimes hot other times dull.
Style 230: Nice wheel, thoug i prefer a more bright silver, polished look or hyper silver.
Mesh Lip look
Axis Penta: Nice hyper silver to go with the spacegray.
Breyton Spirit: Nice polished look.
Breyton Mesh: Maybe a little to flat silver look, but affordable.
Others:
Breyton Vision: Best of both worlds, sort of a lip, not mesh yet not to open, bright silver, more unique.
M5 Replica: nice wheel also, darker type silver, not to open, maybe a little to "busy".

Long post, but needed to collect and show the options for overview purpose. Hope you have som input or maybe the same doubt/debate going on...

Thanks all, pictures below.

Gotta say the M6s. The Breyton Visions don't look bad either, but that's a photoshop.

Jamez · 10-25-2006, 05:26 AM

Thanks, yes you hit the money there, currently my 2 favorites also.

M6 is maybe a little understaded at times where the VISON would be more flashy...

Then there is the fact that the M6 is a replica wheel, ive already seen it on a few not so classy cars here on the road. Im almost certain the VISIONS will retain their exclusitivity(?)

Stronie · 10-25-2006, 06:35 AM

M6, But the rear of that car look very low

picus · 10-25-2006, 07:29 AM

I like the spirits, almost got those myself so I am biased. M6 reps look nice too.

Jamez · 10-25-2006, 07:54 AM

I somehow feel the Space Grey needs a little "bling" but not over the top, this is where i think ill regret getting the M6's.

Though i must admit that on the silver M6 car at the dealer the OEM M6 wheel looks gorgeous in real life.

The standard OEM wheel paint is sooo dull...

mds82 · 10-25-2006, 11:37 AM

i'm just a fan of the visions, i have em on my car. those are actually breyton Vision II's the 20inchers

Jamez · 10-25-2006, 11:42 AM

I know i actually prefer the basic VISIONS as the spokes are not so far into the wheel.

Hey could you tell me what offsets and perhaps spacers you are using on your wheels? Im guessing you did this:

Breyton Vision:
9 x 19” ET 38 with 235/35 tires
10 x 19” ET 42 with 275/30 tires

I assume the E92 would fit something that fits the E90?

Gitta · 10-25-2006, 12:00 PM

I think the M6's look perfect on that color car!

snosk8tr123 · 10-25-2006, 08:21 PM

20" looks way too big.

John · 10-25-2006, 08:57 PM

out of those choices, i would choose breyton spirit, or m5 concave rims

ChineseGuy · 10-25-2006, 09:10 PM

M6!!~

but other than that, i prefer the HArtges....

10-26-2006, 09:33 AM

breyton visions or the M6's

Waldorf · 10-26-2006, 10:21 AM

Breyton Vision ALL THE WAY !!!!

the slickest of them all !

nmulax · 10-26-2006, 10:45 AM

Axis or Breyton Mesh

yamazaho · 10-26-2006, 11:19 AM

M6 wheels got my vote!!!!

LTO · 10-26-2006, 02:55 PM

I usually prefer the mesh look with a big fat lip. But if you decide to get a big brake kit with red calipers, the M6's would show it off nicely.

liquid · 10-26-2006, 08:48 PM

i am liking the visions and the axis penta

RaptorKTM · 10-26-2006, 09:01 PM

those M6 Reps look hott

Ripinto · 10-27-2006, 08:02 AM

I would go for the M6, however, I would choose the Silver/Silver instead of the Silver/Gunmetal.
Silver/Silver would probably make them stand out more.

Jamez · 10-27-2006, 08:47 AM

thanks for all the input, the silver/silver idea is actually quite good...

sbkim · 10-29-2006, 01:36 PM

Where can you get those M6 replicas? Looks great on the car
