Hey guys

Im looking to get some new wheels for the summer, but I cannot make my final decision. I guess i will ask you guys for advice. So Im narrowing the choices down to Volk TE37SL, BBS RSGT diamond black and BBS LM diamond black.

so here is some exterior mods i have on my car if that helps, Jet Black e90 330xi, quads, mtech with 3d lip and quad performance diffuser, vorsteiner cf hood, duke dynamics cf lci trunk, lci tailights. Planning to powdercoat my brake caliper black in a week or two.

Okay so heres some of my thoughts on the wheels:

1. VOLK TE37 SL




Benefits:
1. I can get them new
2. Not too many people have them
3. I can powdercoat them to some other color when i get tired of the color.

Dislikes:
1. I do not like the red sticker, but luckily vendor can provide me with black spoker sticker, rim sticker and valve stems, so basically the red stuff will be black.
2. I personally VOlk TE37 SLs are for heavily modified cars, especially M3s, and because of the design of the spoke, which leave a lot of space black, I think it looks better if the car has Big Brake Kits.
3. I will get a M3 in the winter and will have 18 Mag Blue for track or 19 Mag Blue Te37 for street, so for me, I will probably get bored with a unique design like this. (I dont know if people understand me) Basically im trying to say is that if i choose TE37SLs, I will probably get tired of the design when i have M3, but i really love the Mag blue color.

BBS RSGT Diamond Black





Positive side:
1. RS-GTs are unique also, not too many have it.
2. I like BBS diamond black, and the spoke design is clean.
3. I can get CF/silver or black/silver caps and Black bbs lug nuts with stud conversion, which adds some nice details, and with black powdercoated black brake calipers, i think they will look good.

Negative side:
1. For the price range, I will probably get them used, but from Alex@Helix's photo (the last one), after refinish they look very good.
2. For some reason, i always think RSGT's diamond black is different from LM's diamond black, and it looks kind of silver? (I need to refinish them anyways)
3. the offset, the set up will be 19x8.5 ET35 and 19x9.5 ET25, which requires me to do some fender roll in the rear, I dont like fender roll probably because I have no knowleged in the wheels offsets, and always try to stay away from further modification after buying the wheels. (I shouldn't be worried about this right?)
4. Not sure about those lips, but so far by looking at BimmerB's picture, they look good, but thats on an M3, i got a E90

3. BBS LM Diamond Black




Positive:
1. Classic wheels, I will never get tired of this i guess.
2. I can get CF/silver or black/silver caps with Black bbs lug nuts with stud conversion, which adds some nice details, and with black powdercoated black brake calipers, i think they will look good.

Negative side:
1. I dont know about east coast, but it seems a lot of people have LMs in the west coast. I dont want to get a set of wheels which many people had.
2. I will probably get them used but perfect condition probably 9.8/10, but cost will be little more than TE37SLs and RSGTs (after refinished)

So Here are all my thoughts, please let me know what do you think I should get. Thanks guys

Also, because of the NY roads, im also concerned about the warranty of the wheels, I guess I wont get warranty from used BBS, but how about brand new volk or BBS? WIll they cover if the wheels are broken? If so, under what condition? (i dont think they will cover for hitting potholes)


And sorry for my bad English

I'd go with the BBS LM just cause I love them especially a diamond black face but ur other choice mag blue te37 are also dope good luck with the choice tho

[TiAg335i]

tough choice. i'd go with the volk though because you see less of those running around

i also think the volks look a bit better, more aggressive

[Alpine Whiteboy]

Volks but then you need BBK...

[Sal G@Camber-Toe]

^ what Vinny and Jon said!

[kushtrim]

bbs for sure

[D335NUTZ]

I'd go for the RS-GTs. Like everyone else said Volk are dope but how too much an need BBKs. I was never a fan of the LMs cuz there's too many spokes. Looks like some old man wheels to me.

[Noah@CamberToe]

bbs ftw

Hey guys thanks for all the thoughts, please keep the comments coming, Still undecided.

[tofu-]

volks because they're so freaking light.

the design is so simple and minimalistic, yet they look great.

perfect combo IMO

[DaveD08]

Just buy my RS-GT's! I have tires, they dont need new barrels, no fender rolling required, and you used a picture of my car

[itsbrokeagain]

TE37SL

I been pushin Sal to get them forever. Hurry up and get them in 18s dammit.

Hey Matt, im just going to use this for about half a year, and mainly for the look, so i should probably get 19s?

[ah gon]

i like BBS DBK on E90
and TE-37 on E92.

This man knows what he's talking about.. 18'' with some nice rubber FTW

[Didac]

Get the Volk TE37SL...be different. You go to the meets, 8 out of 10 cars have either VMR or BBS rims. That's why I got the Hamann. I hope I don't offend nobody. BBS and VMR are nice rims. (just be different)..

You guys are pulling me away from BBS......... how bad would it look without BBK, and with Black powdercoated OEM brakes???? This is my main concern right now about these TE37 SLs

honestly I think they will look ok without the BBK as long as your painting your brakes black. This way they wont catch the eye and people wont be like "MY WHAT TINY BRAKES YOU HAVE"......

But you told me to get 19s cuz 18s don't look good on e92s

[Nqwjx30]

probably because 18s are good for track, and 19s good for street, and not bad for track either, because they are really light..

[Nqwjx30]

Some other thoughts came to my mind while still deciding on the wheels, due to my car is 330, and it is pretty slow, will TE37SL be too aggressive? on the other hand, LM is always a classic and wont overkill too much?? still dont know which one to get....
