PLEASE help: Your thoughts about this setup and brand

I think I'm ready to upgrade the wheels on my E90 LCI 2010 sedan.

I currently have a set of OEM styling 285 V-Speiche 17x8 ET 34 with 225/45.



I found a set of STR 609 staggered but need your expert advice please as I'm not sure if those will fit:

Front: 18x8.5 ET +30
Rear: 18x9.5 ET +35



What you guys think? Will those fit? If you also have comments about STR brand I will appreciate it too!

Many thanks for your guidance

yes they will fit, and theres not a whole lot of feedback around on these wheels other then the honda/vw community, assumingly that no news is good news then they probably arent too problematic. However i wouldnt put all my chips on that because they are reps.

personally id go with a more reputable replica brand, one that at least has been around and has more feedback.

Well to be honest, I spent like a thousand bucks on the set of TSW Nurburgring I put in my E87 130i recently, so you can imagine I'm not looking to spend another 1,000 on a set for my E90 (you know, the crisis and stuff hehehe)

I also where looking on some options on tirerack.com but not fully convinced. The Enkei Raijins look good but too OEM and I thought about the Enkei's M52 but they only carry them on hyper black and black (I was looking for gun metal or matte gun metal)

So basically LOL

vmr has some affordable wheels, miros, varrstoens and breyton are not too far off either.

but hey like i said with these wheels it can be hit or miss, if you do get them review them after having them on for a while so the next person has something to go on! whatever you do i wish you the best of luck
