HELP Me Choose My New Wheels! v.POLL INSIDE

theblackmamba · 02-16-2008, 09:51 AM

So, I'm getting some wheels. Don't know which ones to go with. I dont want to roll fenders too much, and with each I am going to lower the car, but not for right now. Maybe in a month or two.

Choices are between a set of Maya's and a set of Sevas. I have an Alpine White e90 335i.

1. 19" Maya STM

Front 19 x 9 Offset 47 - 235/35/19 Falken FK452
Rear 19 x 10 Offset 23 - 265/30/19 Falken FK452

OR

2. Sevas S-Star in Gold

Front 19 x 8.5 Offset 35 - Same tires as above
Rear 19 x 9.5 Offset 40 - Same tires as above

No pics on an alpine white e90 because it hasnt been done before.

How they look on an m3:

I personally love the Gold sevas wheels. I am torn though. Maya's are bling bling, but I've seen the gold wheels on coupes and it is more my style. I love he way it looks. I plan to drop my car as well.

DrGP · 02-16-2008, 03:13 PM

IMHO, Those gold rims look like ASS. BUTT, I like the STMs

ModBargains.com · 02-16-2008, 03:46 PM

Hmm... I'd get the STM, but if you're into to Seva, i'd get the Gold as well. But to me, I think the mesh-y look looks better on the e90s.

I suppose that's why CSLs are also popular.. lol

I would go with the Maya STM's hands down, but they probably cost a pretty penny more than the other wheels. Those offsets seem pretty aggressive, I guess your planning on rolling the rears though.

theblackmamba · 02-16-2008, 03:49 PM

I guess. I dont know what I'm going to go with. Perhaps I'll just get some non run flats for the 162's and a full kwv2.

I dont want to roll the rears. If I either plan to sell the car or trade it back in for another ride I dont know how the dealer is going to react, and I rather not take my chances.

I don't see a poll with options. Make one.

Added just for the ^ above.

remmib · 02-16-2008, 09:37 PM

To me, the STM looks best.

Well, are you sure that 19x10 et23 will clear without rolling the fenders? That seems kind of aggressive to clear without rolling.

As far as the dealer knowing that your fenders were rolled, that is a pretty far fetch to be honest. Its not like you are adding a widebody to the car, you are just rolling the inner fender. To even know that they were rolled you would have to put your head up in the fender.

I am a little (actually a lot) conservative gold is over doing it...I like the Maya's but the posts indicate that they are really expensive...I recommend M6 reps or CSL's (depending on how many people have them in FL).

d3l0n · 02-16-2008, 10:42 PM

STM

Bimmerboy87 · 02-16-2008, 11:39 PM

Sevas S-Star gets my vote

On white it looks amazing! PM TheModCity on here, there the best vendor for wheels on here, I got my wheels from them as well, and I must say A++++. Also that M3 is there customer's as well. GL

+1. I really dont think they will even notice that you rolled your fenders. The STM's look a lot better then the S-Star. For some reason, the S-Star just looks cheap imo.

my opinion is the STM's r better looking on coupes

Luongo · 02-17-2008, 01:30 AM

#1 is okay, but #2 is totally ghetto.
Neither of them look better than stock BMW rims, IMHO.

BMW MotorSport · 02-17-2008, 02:45 AM

I voted for the Maya's since there were no other choices. Those gold sevas aren't my cup of tea.
