Wheels for Jet Black E92

WCM3 · 01-28-2010, 09:09 AM

Hey guys,

I've searched and looked through as many pics as I could. I'm still torn between what wheels to get for my JB 335i. I already have matte black kidney grilles, lower grilles, and window trim. I was also thinking of tinting the windows. Keep in mind, that I'm currently try to sell the car, so I don't want to pick up the wrong wheels that buyers won't like. What do you guys think I should go with? I'm thinking the VB3 CSL wheels from EAS. I don't know if I should do matte black, silver, or gunmetal. I also have a spare set of 18" tires. Should I just get 18" wheels to put on those tires, or invest in 19"?

Thoughts/Suggestions?

Here's some pics of my car as it sits:

I obviously love Gunmetal on black...however, I think a silver CSL would appeal to the most people if you are trying to sell your car. Then again, why bother buying wheels for it if you're selling it?

Thanks. I knew someone was going to ask. I sold my OEM 189 wheels, and the current wheels on the car are winter wheels/tires. I sold them too. So over the weekend the car will just be up on jacks. I felt like having a set of all season wheel/tires will help the car sell faster then just having a set of winter wheel/tires.

i would go gunmetal since you have the shadow line .

I would do silver or black. Silver will make the car easier to sell as you can't go wrong with a set of silver wheels however I think black will work well with the overall theme on the car (blackout). Although if you are trying to sell the car, not sure why you are going to spend more money on it?

It's actually going to be a wash for what I sold my winter set and Style 189s for. I have about $1,100 to play with and wanted to get a set of wheels and maybe some H&R sport springs.

Guys, I think I'm going to go with the VMR Jet Anthracite VB3s. I haven't seen them on any cars yet so that's nice.

Pics for reference:

Definitely Jet Anthracite gets my vote. Second choice would be either gunmetal or matte black. Also here is a new powder coat finish called Texture black that we offer:
