Moven M4 (ACS Type III 2pc) or Beyern Mesh

[wheresmym3]

Where can I even buy these wheels (Moven M4's)? I have looked all over ebay and googled for an 18X8.5 non-staggered setup. I tried searching here but everyone knows it's always busy. I'm heavily thinking these on my E36 M but I'm still up in the air if I should just go with the Beyern Mesh 18X8.5 silver. That lip is so hot but I've seen good photo's of these rims and bad photos. I've seen 17's on an e36 and it looked like crap (too busy looking). I've seen 18" or 19" on an E46 and it was looking pretty damn good. I've heard the Beyern's are heavy as hell though (~26-30 lbs EACH). Also, to really get a lip I have to have a staggered setup for the Beyern's. A 9.5 in the rear = 3 inch lip:eyecrazy Anyone got info as to spec vs spec?

No opinions???

I really like both designs but would not swap the quality of your genuine rims for these replicas of unknown quality. Original BBS or Schnitzers may be a different case.
(I also think your car would look much better without the Dinan badges)
AVUS is still the best colour to come out of Regensburg
There ya go.......3 opinions for the price of one

Gotta love Acs.

As luck would have it I had the pleasure to come in contact with a nice size piece of wood (goddamn construction) on the highway and bent my front wheel a little. I'll post a pic later to mad right now.

Pretty HAWT

[SILV3R]

yea his car is sick!

will you put a bmw roundel or a ACS cap on the wheels?

good choice btw

[wheresmym3]

Think I'll put an ACS just because the color flows with the aluminum emblem instead of breaking it up with the roundel. Now I just have to find a set for sale??? No one caries these anymore. I know OC Wheel Wurx carries repros...to bad they don't return calls at all. Should I try email??

Spyeng.com had these for $149 per rim! But as I just found out, their account has been suspended with their ISP. So go figure. M4s are really hard to come by (I've been thinking about those myself.) Someone sent me a link to explain why. I can't find the link itself at the moment, but it was basically about ACS destroying something like 250,000 replica rims. They also aggressively go after these manufacturers to stop producing replicas, which is why these rims are so hard to come by.

Everything I've read on these rims tells me that they are pretty strong, and probably of the same or near quality as ACS.

[IanBMW]

I'm going to go with ACS ones.

I found their info but i dont know if its still valid.

I would go with the Type III Racing replicas (Moven), they will make your car much cleaner. I have seen the Beyern in person, and they give the car a 'show car' look, while the Type IIIs give the car a 'race' look. I guess it depends what kind of look you want your car to have. The Beyern Mesh weigh quite a bit. I have to admit the lip is great though!

Btw OCWheelwurx seems to have been a popular vendor to get the Movens from in the past, so maybe you want to shoot them an email.

[BimmerDawg]

The Beyern Mesh weigh quite a bit..

18x8.5 = 25 lbs.

You think the Moven's reps are gonna be light? :rofl

[Tony@Bekkers]

Buy them both, swap them every other week.
