Best wheel choice for Alpine White E90 Sedan

bimmer01 · 06-06-2009, 08:00 PM

I've searched high and low and would just like to get a consenus as to what the majority of people think is the best wheel choice for an e90 sedan (specifically in alpine white). I've considered black and even gold, but have decided that I want to keep it kinda low key and choose something with a silver powdercoated finish similiar to the oem wheel. So far, I have found styles I like from VMR, Miro, Beyern, and Breyton. I like the CSL style wheels, but I want to see what everyone thinks. I'm not considering 3-piece wheels and I want to keep the price range <$2000 wheels and tires. Fire away!!!

Nice, I'm kinda hoping there is something I have not seen yet that someone will suggest. Also, I prefer something that is already hubcentric and does not require centering rings (ie something specifically designed for a BMW). I know breyton, beyern, and VMR's are that way.

check out the alufugreneughafufufufufugren CSL wheels.

I think those look great or the 10" rear VB3's.

Here are some shots of member Saigon, with our 19x10 VB3's in Super Silver.

Those look sharp! What is the best offset and tire size in 19" for a non-sport E90 sedan for NO-RUB fitment?

ALUFELGEN · 06-07-2009, 09:20 AM

Here is a Alpine White E90 with our CSL. This is member Fotios335i running 19x8.5" ET +35 & 19x9.5" ET +30 wrapped in Nitto INVO 235/35R19 & 265/30R19. Here is his review as well Link Here

Those look great! Do they accept TPMS sensors? If so, could you pm me a price for 19" mounted & balanced with sensors. I don't plan on doing any agressive driving or track time, and I live in the southeast so a summer tire is fine, but doesn't have to be a ultra-high performance one.

Or the Linea Corse Dyna.

bimmer01 · 06-07-2009, 08:50 PM

What do you guys think of the oem style 197's? They are 18 inchers.

Yvette · 06-07-2009, 08:53 PM

^ nah

medik13 · 06-07-2009, 10:21 PM

I am having the same dilemma with my e90 AW. I am waiting for confirmation that the VB3 CSL replicas fit the e90 LCI in a 19X10 size.

I have contacted Alufelgen, but they couldn't put anything together for an e90 LCI???

Anyway, if the VB3's don't fit in 19X10, I am going with a set of M3, style 220, reps.

bimmer01 · 06-08-2009, 06:18 AM

What does LCI mean?

medik13 · 06-08-2009, 09:11 AM

Lifecycle Impulse...Fancy term for facelift.

Fronts look good, backs

265's on a 10" looks terrible. My opinion is if you aren't prepared or can't fit a proper tire, the rim is too wide.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 06-08-2009, 09:55 AM

My vote is BBS CH (but I'm biased

)

You can prob find a used set for ~$2000...

I agree I find even 275's can look stretched on a 10" wide wheel sometimes!

Craig@SupremePower · 06-08-2009, 10:53 AM

can't go wrong with CSL rep's..

We can put a package together for you but the LCI requires an offset that nobody currently has available in order for it to fit properly. The VMR 19x10 fits the same as our CS7 19x9.5.
