Finish aside since I think I can live with some small rock chips in the finish. I'm not showing my car or anything.

Serious question, sell me on why I would be happier spending twice as much on these wheels.

You get a superior German made, TUV certified wheel that looks incredible, only weighs 22 lbs each in 18x8 Titanium, that won't bend like cheap ass OZ wheels. IMO, most of the wheels posted on this thread look cheap on the M235. I paid $50K for my Pearl White M235xi and plan to keep it for 5 years at least. I almost purchased the BBS SR's because they are cheaper than the CH-R's but they don't look anywhere near as good and they weigh 4 lbs more per wheel.

I went with the Titanium. Looks incredible against a white coat and the gray painted side view mirrors.

You get what you pay for.

Love the look of the V721s on a that car. They look great!

[boysom]

so i still haven't seen a 19x9.5 et 35 setup. didn't someone say this would work at the very beginning of the thread?

[dglende]

The Dinan S3 prototype (with the Dinan lowering kit) has the following setup (according to Nathan @ Dinan). It has been tracked and saw no rubbing or other issues:


Wheels:
Front: 19 x 8 ET 40 – BBS CH-R (custom modification)
Rear: 19 x 9 ET 44 – BBS CH-R (custom modification)

Tires:
Front: 245/35-19 – Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Rear: 265/30-19 – Michelin Pilot Super Sport

I don´t know what makes you think OZ were cheap ass wheels but here we go... OZ Ultras 8x18 weighing 18 lbs each. Enough for a winter setup

btw, sorry for reeeeaaaaally crappy iPhone pics.

Yea, have to admit that is the design I'm looking for and a quality product to boot. Maybe just save a little longer for the springtime.

Nice - can you tell us the offsets (ET) of your V710 wheels? Do you think there is aa chance for 235 tire at the front and 265 mm at the rear?

Front: et35
Rear: et45

And I think it would be a very tight fit but it also depends on your suspension set up.

I did a 19x9.5 et38 with a 235/35/19 on it 3mm more would work but would look odd unless lowered. et35 might even work with a narrow 255/30. Ill know in a week or two as I'm putting together a new setup

[Bee Pee]

If 9.5 et38mm cw 235/35 wide tyre was tight towards the fender, the same width wheel with et35mm and a wider 255/30 tyre will be worse. High chance of it rubbing and even too much poke.

[CanadianGatorBacon]

Figured I'd add to the thread since I haven't seen anyone else with these: Apex Aero-7 18x8 et 45 hyper black and Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 225/40 front and rear.

Are you talking about these one the E92 M3? There are a few pics of red cars with black wheels, and none of them are of an M2.

Which sponsor? I'm interested.

hey guys, with a stock m235i is it feasible to get away with a 255/35/18 in the rear? I'd be running them with PSS. Anyone have pictures of what a 255 and 245 tire look like from the rear of the car? Mine is OEM staggered, which is f225 and r245.

I'm guessing 265/35/18 is not an option with stock suspension.

255's are going to be too wide on stock rims i think

my bad, I meant with a stock suspension - I'll be buying after market wheels, most likely apex ec-7s.

[Prazision]

Anybody happen to have some pics of an M235i on some Japanese wheels? Volks, Wedsports, SSR, etc?

It is warm in Texas and have switched to summer tires with forgestar F14 wheels.
Wheel specs are 18x8.5 +42 and 18x9 +45.
Tires are stock tires 225/40 and 245/35.
