My car needs rims...
And there are soooo many to choose from! Help me out!
My Car I really like the looks of the Miro 111's and even more with the looks of the below forum member's car. Are our cars the same color? Cant really tell by the pics. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=583667 |

Oh I forgot. I have a $2500 budget for wheels and tires, but less money spent would be nice

arent miros relatively inexpensive? i never looked into them, but i would think with $2500 u can buy a set with tires and still have some money left over.
and then with the leftover cash, i would get some blacklines ASAP. |

Yes they are rather inexpensive. I am looking at the led blacklines like pictured in the other car. I think they look nice. Would 18" fill the wheel wells nice enough? Im afraid of going to big and since the car is already low on power 19" would make me cry.

I also should have clarified. $2500 is wheels and tires. Not just wheels.

The Miro 111 wheels are definitely a good choice. Here are a few pictures of the 18" staggered Miro 111 setups from one of my customers E90s for you to check out!!!

unless you plan on doing heavy mods to your car, id skip the te-37 reps and just go with the 18" miros you originally wanted. it'll look a lot better than the stock wheels but still keep the car looking clean and almost like upgraded from the factory instead.
imo, te-37 and other "race" style wheels on bmw's only look good when the car looks like a straight race car (usually at least m3 body) to pull it off. otherwise on a regular e90/92, those jdm race wheels just make our cars look like expensive civics. pretty decent photoshop tho!! lol |

The TE37 reps are wonderful, and not something you see everyday on the e9x. If you want a more unique option that will stand out amongst all the other people with the same wheels, get something that isn't inspired by a CSL or BBS LM wheel.
I reccomend: Avant Garde M368 <- I run these on my personal car Varrstoen TE37 reps in M3 offsets and widths in 18" = So amazing Standard te37 reps MRR LT1 <- Very lightweight for the price, 19" looks killer. I have some other options, if you need some help on a setup that isnt the "same old thing" Drop me a PM |
