Help choosing rims
I Want to get the Vmr vb3 rims. I just want your opinions on what color i should get...my car is black.And what should get and what size,18" or 19". I have Eibach prp-kit springs on and pathetic 16" stock rims. I'm just worried if they are too big it might look bad.

I would recommend the VB3 in a lighter color on a black car to give it some contrast. However, I believe the silver fronts are out of stock until November. I don't know how you feel about Gunmetal, but those are good in-stock. I have 19" VB3's on my car and I do not regret the decision. I have seen the VB3's on the exact same car in 18" and it looks weird. Go big or go home, I think you will be very happy with the 19". It also depends on the road you drive on. Just my .02.

Hyperblack or silver. 19's for looks, 18's for ride comfort on crappy roads.

I'm getting TRMotorsport MT1 for the spring. They are matte grey only. I'm waiting for spring because I have winter tires on my stock wheels and want the tires to be as new as possible. Can't wait to get the wheels with the pilot super sports.

Go with matte black I think hyper black are too dark. The reason I switched was that the vb3s are too heavy and I would actually be gaining weight. With this setup I'm actually saving close to 30 lbs

I personally do like the the Black and Gunmetal combo the best as it does give the car a sporty and aggressive look. Here's a picture of my customer and fellow E90post member madmanhiker's E92 LCI 335i with the VMR VB3 CSL 19" wheels in Gunmetal for you to check out!
