Guys i need these OEM tires off my car lol.

I have been hunting down some Matte Black VB3s for a few months now with no luck. I would settle for V718s but prefer rounded look of VB3.

I am not completely sold on the 710 (rear looks rad with concave but front looks a little bizzare to me) I guess i could settle for 701s but there is no stock in matte black either.. with no ETA.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice CSL COPY/Similar style or just a nice wheel in general that is readily available in matte/gloss black that will fit my 1er! preferably 18" because i want to reuse my OEM RFTS!!!!

Thanks heaps in advance.

Love you all <3

Alufelgen makes a csl style wheel.

Also Apex makes bbs rc (arc 8) and bbs gt4 (apex ec-7) rep wheels that IMO are higher quality than other brands that make rep wheels as they are flow formed and are very light and strong.

Personally, I really like bbs gt4 wheels and will be picking up a set of the apex ec-7s.

Thy are also hub centric and designed with proper 1 series offsets and sizes so no centering rings or spacers are needed.

And although it would be slightly stretched, you could re-use the rft's.

Another one to consider would be the Avant Garde m359

If you tink the V710's look funky then you really won't like the EC-7's in 1er off-set

The v710 et45/45 fitment looks hot on the 1er but it is aggressive in the rear!
