Budget wheels!!

thetedderbear · 02-19-2011, 09:37 PM

Ok guys, so I'm looking for wheels on a budget. Easier said that done. 335i coupe, I'd like 19's or 20's, and at least 10" wide rears. I'd like to spend less than $2000 for a set, any suggestions?

tofu- · 02-19-2011, 09:41 PM

on a $2000 budget, you have a pretty good selection in the used market.

arctic330i · 02-19-2011, 09:48 PM

You have a VERY good budget for wheels...

thetedderbear · 02-19-2011, 09:52 PM

That's including tires and that's absolute max. Ideally I'd like less. I was looking around and all the wheels I liked were $1000-2000/wheel. Where can I find a good selection of used?

right here on these forums

you can check the m3 forums from time to time. e46 offsets should fit our cars with front spacers

PeteW84 · 02-19-2011, 10:33 PM

Check out wheeldude.com, good luck

hipnotic · 02-19-2011, 10:46 PM

check out the vendors here. You should be able to get a used set for a great price with that amount of money

nextm5 · 02-19-2011, 11:02 PM

Off the top of my head, the top 5 selling replica wheels on this site with General or Hankook tires will be below your budget.
Im talking brand new tires and wheels.

Go into the "Sponsor" section of the forums and "pm" the vendors. You will have a set at your door in no time

e90injrz · 02-19-2011, 11:59 PM

For around $1500 shipped you should be able to get a good set of reps with tires.

Check out varrstoen 1.1.2 wheels, Their $850 shipped for staggered LM rep 19's. general uhp or nankang nsII tires should run you about $500 and TPMS about $150.

+1

My 19" AluFelgen CSL reps 8.5/9.5 with General UHP's, ///M stickers, BMW roundels, mounted, balanced and shipped to my door were $1950 through AluFelgen. You should have no problems finding a nice new set for under $2K.

FVM3 · 02-20-2011, 06:14 AM

go for miro 111

John 070 · 02-20-2011, 06:19 AM

Used to be able to get a 19" staggered setup with the Ventus V12's for $1050 shipped, but some of those deals seem to be gone (prices in general seem to have gone up)...

cotmfk · 02-20-2011, 06:20 AM

There is so much out there in your price range it's crazy.

**********s.com

Or pyspeed.com

Good luck, have fun, and post pics when you're done!

Pinarello Rider · 02-20-2011, 07:21 AM

I detect some analysis paralysis. My wheel tire selection process was easy. "What's cheapest and what fits?" If I actually had MONEY to spend...

EYE4SPEED · 02-20-2011, 09:00 AM

Click my sig... if you can live with 9.5 rears and no need for fender roll.

SV Concepts III · 02-20-2011, 12:50 PM

I suggest looking into Velocity Motoring (VMR) or Avant Garde (AG).

Both manufacturers offers great looking wheels and most styles are available in 18" or 19" in your price range.

We can package any of these wheels with tires for a ready to install setup as well.

AG M335 (no longer available in Diamond Black)

AG M341

Avant Garde M368

VMR VB3 CSLs

VMR V710

VMR V701

We also offer custom colors on Avant Garde and VMR Wheels.

Other suggestions just for good measure

Miro Type 942s

M6 Reps

stressdoc · 02-20-2011, 02:44 PM

I suggest you first sit back and seriously think through why you want new wheels. Then do some research. You might want to save up for rims that increase performance (lightweight forged). Ditto for tires, they are key to performance.

Tirerack has a good site full of data on tires and wheels.

The for sale section here is a good place to look, as others have suggested.

SAC335i · 02-20-2011, 08:58 PM

Europeanautosource.com has a pretty good deal. $1930 for wheels/tires/TPMS and free shipping on the VB3. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with Hankook V12 tires.

jeremy5000 · 02-21-2011, 07:41 AM

I have some Breyton Race CS for sale with Michelin PS2s and TPMS sensors...

edit: here is how they look on the car...
