Settled for OEM, what 19" for E92?

Jamez · 10-27-2006, 06:29 AM

Hi,

Well ive been around almost all kind of wheels for my new E92, theM6 reps, Visions, Spirits etc.
The problem is, all of these are a pain to get hold of here i Denmark and that they all end in a pricerange more or less like OEMS.

So im settling for the comfort and easiness of OEM's.
My current candidates are:

179's
Good combo of clean 5 spokes & agressive studs.
230's
Very dynamic, a little plain, feels more open than the 179.

Im leaning towards the 179 as it is less common and slightly more interessting, any opinions?

230s!!!!!

I am a little biased, as I just received the 230s I ordered.

They are awesome. I think the lines of the slightly "twisted" 230 spokes compliment the lines of the coupe. I've seen both in-person, and man, the 230's look great.

I understand your pain...but "Hard to get" followed by "Settling" is painful to hear, for rims or any substancial part. I say get what you want, it might take a while, but you will feel great when you get them.

If not, I vote for the style 230's!

I probably go with 230
but it's really a difficult decision to made.
