Wheel Opinions Wanted

Leather_Lung · 06-06-2015, 11:17 AM

Opinions Wanted.
Currently on 19x9.5/10 VMRs with way too tiny of a tire for my liking

Thinking of going back to 219m 18x8.5/9.5

This time powdercoated in black and with some meaty falken rt615k tires

This silver m3 made me want to ditch the VMRs

Opinions?

I like all, but 1 is my favorite followed by 2.

The powder-coated 219m looks good imo

BMDoublYou · 06-07-2015, 06:59 AM

Depends if you want show, or go. In my opinion 19's look better on E9X's. Otherwise get 18's on with meaty tires

Leather_Lung · 06-07-2015, 07:20 AM

The ride on 18s is so much better too.

219 is awesome and look better in person but should barely fit pre LCI and perfect for M3 only. Looks like yours is pre LCI and should fit with prper size tires. Will not fit properly on LCI.

VMR's on 18's all day. I got those wheels, you'll love them. I was at cars and coffee yesterday, everyone kept taking pictures of the car and wheels. Do it

Which VMRs are the those? I like the looks but would like them in 18s.

Mine are VB3.

I've also considered getting the same wheels in 18x8.5/9.5.

I'm currently messaging a seller about 219Ms so we'll see where that goes.
I've also looked at enkei rs05rr in 8.5/9.5 but they're expensive.

Definitely the 219M, but don't powdercoat! They look perfect as is and match space gray perfectly. I tried so hard to find a set of 219M's for my car, but could never find a decent price or they always got sold before I got my hands on them. I ended up going with aftermarket wheels with a similar look to VMR in a matte graphite color. I still like the 219M's and if I see another set I am scooping them up.

Nothing larger than 18.

I'm not going to go with the 219M now.

18 feels better than 19, but 19 look better than 18
