Hey guys, I want to buy a set of aftermarket wheels for my newly acquired 328xi coupe and dedicate the stockers for snow tires. I'm thinking of sticking with 17s or maybe going up to 18s (no larger though, not here in New England with our potholes). I'd like to keep the budget around $1400 and I'm thinking something black with a polished lip would look best on my titanium silver vehicle but will consider all options. I'm having a rough time deciding on what to get. Hoping some of you can make some good recommendations, thanks!

The TSW Croft Wheel would look nice in Gunmetal w/ machine face.

Thanks I'll check them out. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time. I never had an issue picking something with my other vehicles (Nissan Maxima and old Jaguar XJ6). I guess this car is turning me into a perfectionist

Style 101s? I have a brand new set of square set of 18X8.5s I'm selling for a lot less than $1400.

I suggest looking into Velocity Motoring (VMR) or Avant Garde (AG).
Both manufacturers offers great looking wheels and most styles are available in 18" or 19" in your price range.
We can package any of these wheels with tires for a ready to install setup as well.
As always, :search for more information and other members' suggestions.
Feel free to shoot me a PM / E-Mail or call if you had any questions. :D

Thanks for all those pictures Cal. I REALLY like the look of those VMR's! They may be my #1 choice at the moment. Question is...black with polished lip or silver on a titanium silver e92?

I say black if you are working with matte black grilles, shadow emblems, blacked out window trim, tint, etc.
otherwise silver if all stock.
