Neither of them fit the sporty intentions of the 135.

Between the two, I like the ASA better, but they are a little bit too similar to AMG wheels for my taste on a BMW

I'm not feeling them. BBS wheels and BMWs go like peanut butter and jelly though try them, though I know you mentioned cost.

Wow,..Damn! LOL
Before piling on too much guys,..remember that I did say I liked the Morr VS7's but was just "looking" @ other Options. (i.e.- maybe save some coin)
I appreciate the opinions, but am a bit surprised they are all negative. DOH! Chalk it up to a bad choice.
The other reason I was looking at other wheels is that a 5 spoke wheel is going to be MUCH easier to clean. Plus I should be able to reach through the spokes to keep those Beautiful BMW calipers cleaned as well. That would be hard to do w/ the BBS RGR & Morr's tight spoke pattern.
(FYI- I'll prob still wind up getting the morrs or at least CSL reps)

You need to go to the wheels and tires thread. There are many great looking wheels there on 45 pages.

IMO the OEM 264's look completely AWESOME. I see no need to get anything else. If I had ALOT of coin, I would consider some 3 piece wheels that look great, but many start at $1k each or more.

KEEP the 264's they are SO SWEET. IMO IMO
