M5 Wheels== Played out?

gscone · 04-19-2006, 03:33 PM

I'm really feeling the M5 wheels on our E90's, but dont you guys think they are getting pretty played out and everyone has them now? IN NY/LI- I've seen 2 E90's with this setup and while it looks good, i dont think they are special anymore. Any agree?

^^ why I sold my CSL wheels ^^

ctgazer · 04-19-2006, 04:06 PM

not really..but its really up to personal preference..i definately prefer something more unique with a lip which makes it a higher-end wheel..up to you to decide what looks good and what doesnt

Gscone, You ordered manual?

I think it all comes down to personal preference. Just go with what you like. Think of it like the movies, if we listened to the critics we probably would only go to 3-4 movies a year. Just my two cents

Funny... It's all about how much Coin you have these days!! Played out means affordable. If you can step up to the 4K - 5K range then you'll have a unique BMW with Sick wheels... But the M5 wheel looks much better than stock. But it is a personal choice... I myself would get the Vision II's.. Those are sick and Very expensive...

Your choice is people seeing you with M5 wheels and going nice...
Or people seeing you with 20" DPE wheels or Vision II (lowered) and going DAMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! So if you want the reaction of "nice" then go with M5 or any 19" wheel, But if you want the reaction of DAMNNNNNNNNN then go with 20's...

katsbimmer · 04-19-2006, 07:13 PM

i've had mine on for a week now ...and love them...got them because i haven't seen any down here around the stuart/west palm beach area of florida..and so far everyone thats seen them has been like..".DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! i've never seen those kind of wheels before...."

thebd · 04-19-2006, 09:35 PM

Did you have to do any mods to make the wheels fit? Do they rub at all?

titanium06 · 04-20-2006, 10:46 AM

No way!! They look too good.

I prefer the "nice" look. I don't want to turn my family car into a wanna-be rice burner. If I wanted that I would go buy a used honda and mod the shit out of it.

They are a classy wheel that compliments the e90 beautifully!

ashecnc · 04-20-2006, 01:53 PM

NO they look great, and its personal preference, get what you like! I think it sets the e90 off.

KL2DC · 04-20-2006, 02:01 PM

ashenc: I've officially put the M5 reps on shortlist of wheels to get by this summer

Looking for 18s though... I like the way they look on your ride!

katsbimmer · 04-20-2006, 02:09 PM

take a look at mine those are 18's ...8 wide fronts/ 9 wide rears

KL2DC · 04-20-2006, 02:18 PM

katsbimmer: I saw your pics and they look fine...18s look large enough, thanks to the M5 reps design. Would OEM RFT tire sizes (as fitted on 162s) fit on those wheels?

Is your car ZSP or non-ZSP

Do you know what offsets you have? 35mm?

bavarian19 · 04-21-2006, 05:33 AM

Played out? Just because you see 4-5 people on an online forum having the same wheels means nothing. I see a ton of E90's around the DC area, and I barely see any more than a few of them with 162's. If 162's are rare, then a custom wheel setup would be even more rare.

I say go get what you want, and screw what other people think...

You may want to re-read my OP. I've seen many people on the streets with the M5 wheels and less importantly, quite a few on this forum. If anything, I will get the CSL's or iforged wheels. Thanks!

So what you are saying is that out of over a million people that live in your area, you have seen 2 e90's with M-5 wheels.

WTF?

I've seen very few E90's in my area and with the one's I've seen, they already have the M5 wheels..
