I believe they are the same wheel in 18s.

although the ones on the tii appear a little more gun metal looking to my untrained eye.

I think that's just due to the lighting, could be wrong though. Either way, I like them. :w00t:

At the moment, I'm digging this 198 wheel from the BMW accessories catalog...

JO3 · 11-20-2007, 06:34 PM

Of the two, the 264 looks the best to me.

But the tii wheels leagues above both.

Templedogg · 11-20-2007, 06:37 PM

That 198 wheel ='s hours of cleaning brake dust!!!! Not for me anymore.

nice! thank-you.

Joe98 · 11-22-2007, 04:40 PM

After seeing them both in person... id have to say the 264 is definately the best

. Im not all about size and all, but the 261 just looks too small.

manj · 11-23-2007, 10:06 AM

there both ugly but if i had to choose 264 in a bigger size then displayed in the first picture

PaulUK · 11-23-2007, 01:35 PM

It depends on which image you look at.
These look fine to me (scanned from the UK brochure).

Fast Kiwi · 11-23-2007, 03:02 PM

i like the 261

but love the tii wheels for sure.

Dam I like the 261's better.

Race 1 · 11-25-2007, 11:24 PM

i dont really know either, they both look alright. I think i'd take the 261 just because less people would have them

phattbam · 11-26-2007, 08:06 AM

the 261's dont look that bad from that scan.. making me think twice now

Euro Durch Tod · 11-26-2007, 08:32 AM

Im leaning towards just a basic set of wheels to be quickly replaced with a set of quality aftermarkets and some big lip.

PaulUK · 11-26-2007, 05:51 PM

Another good shot of the 261's

261's work for me. But its close.
Im planning on some M3 CSL rims for mine.

Esmallstii · 11-26-2007, 07:20 PM
