Depends on 18", 19" or 20"...staggered or not. I like all these wheel packages for <$2000, but I got myself the third one with Michelin sport PS2, 18" all around because I want to be able to rotate the tires.

What color is your car?
For AW i think chrome is fitting. Been thinking black might be able to work but not sure. But out of those rims, i like the 10spoked. |

Yes, the 10-spoke rim is nice. It's Hartge replica. I saw them installed on the silver and arctic metalic. Look great.
I like the third one (AC Schnitzer rep.) because I want to paint the calipers in RED and like to have more open space in my wheel to show them. Mine is Arctic with CF lips. I'll post the pictures some time. |

There are VERY few 5 spoke rims that LOOK GOOD on a 06 E90 in my opinion the E 90 is NOT a 5 spoke rim type of car!!!!!!! here are a few very GOOD choices

It depends on personal preferences. I'm not a fan of mesh rims tho. IMO, they look a bit like classic wheels.
Look at these 5 spoke rims from members and others. I thought they looked very nice. |

guy's guy's PLEASE when looking for Rims for your E 90 YOU must take everything into acount.The type of car you have is it a sudan,coupe,the color of your car is very IMPORTANT, and the over all look and feel of the car, rims that look good on a coupe may not look as good on a sudan the E90 IS NOT A SPORT'S CAR it's more of a Luxury car that look's very sporty PRETENDER you gave me some good pic's to work with. rememer I told you VERY few 5 stare rims look good on an E90 The first pair of rims are nice but they are just to HOT ROD LOOKING this rim is to over powering taking away from the attractiveness of the car itself. when you first look at this car ALL YOU see those damn rims slapping you in the face and no matter how much you try to lift your head in order to see the rest of the car those damn rims just keep slapping you back down again and they don't go with the color of the car at ALL IF THIS E90 was silver he mite get away with it. the AC schnitzer car I think ac got the rims from the manufacure for promotional reasons and just decided to slap them on this good looking E90 THIS TYPE OF RIM IS ALL WRONG first it's a bad looking rim for this car the spokes are WAY TO THIN to much of a gap between spokes I could go on but lets leave it at that for now. your next choice the white E90 now this looks SWEET the color go's perfect with this type of rim the spoke are just the perfect width the car look's classy as well as sporty can you see how the rim's blend with the overall look of the car. can you see how they not only pop out, but they make the car pop out at you as well whoever own's this car should be proud of him/her self the only way this rim would be bad for this car is if they were crome. . could say alot more but let me move on NOW FOR YOU LAST PIC the car looks to me to be black no matter THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I feel sorry for whoever own's this E90 witch has been turned into an E 0 I hope whoever own's this car lives in alaska. where not many people will laugh at him or her I hope he got these for free from the inlaws and just put them on in order to make them happy everything is wrong with these rims shape, style everything. seeing rim's in a photo is not the same as seeing them mounted on a car I think alot of poeple forget this when buying rims they tell themselfs wow these rims look great but the first question they should be asking themselfs is will they look just as great when mounted on my car just one mans opinion.

I think end of the day is up to individual preference. some like it, some don't.
Go with what you think looks good on your E90 and keep within your budget, that's what I think best! |

lol n21k saying that it like saying weman wear mini skirts just becouse it makes them feel good lol yeah right!! yeah it makes them feel good to know that every guy within 100 yards is looking at them !!!! if that was the case then I'm sure most wheel manufacturers would be out of bussiness. not only do you want your car to look hot but you want others to think it looks hot too

The car is curvy and sculptural - imo, it does not blend well with 'angular' wheels with primarily straight lines in them. Consider the 162s, which are a beautiful sculptural wheel that fit the car perfectly - the 162 has dimensional and rounded lines, just like the car.
AFter a more sculpted wheel, a mesh style is less straight-lined and has a better chance of a good fit with the car. Even the 5 spoked wheels from BMW (such as the 179 and 195) are less angular and more dimensional. So its possible for a 5 spoke to work if it fits well with the car. And as maxpain suggests, color is very important, imo. Guess I'm not into bling, so super shiny finishes seem to distract me, rather than blend in a way that make them look like they are made for the car. If the wheels stand out too much color-wise, I don't have a sense of complete package. Just my opinion... .

OMG, totally confused.
I am thinking that find a good rim as hard as to pick up a right girl. I maight need go stright forward to get what I want. Try it first and then I might found one. Haha. Anyway thanks for all above. By the way, We might rate for different color wt different rim to see which one got the best match. |

come on terps, ur so bad here.
Some times those wheels look almost the same, it is impassible to say whether good or not on ur car. It is killing me right now. I might go Asanti 218, but don't know if they fit. I can't find the offset on the Web or assanti offical. They said it is fit the M3. what u guys think ? |

(QUICK TIPS FOR BUYING RIMS) Me and my friends have learned this hard way.
1)Find the rims you would consider buying for your car 2) NEVER NEVER NEVER buy the rims till you have seen them mounted on the exact same kind of car you have make, model and year(including color) no matter what. Becouse once those babies are mounted,they are YOURS no matter if they look good or not. |

^^^^ Those are e-bay replicas of the Breyton Spirit wheels. You can either buy the replica on ebay (search for B-spirit or spirit) or buy the real ones on tirerack (Breyton Spirit)
Good luck |
