    Opinions on new wheel purchase PLZ E46 content

    Ok debating between 3 different wheels . Which ones do you guys prefer... Only the one set is in 19x8.5, the others are all 18x8. Thanks.

    My car now, with smoked turns and sides about to be installed.



    Wheel #1 AVR Black accent w machined face and polished lip....19x8.5 a little heavy though 30.4 lbs.



    Wheel # 2 OZ Bottecilli Machined face w black accents. 18x8 23lbs.



    Wheel # 3 Rial 18x8 black accents with machined face 18x8 26lbs.

    #2 or #3. However, I'm sure others will say none of them (which is how I feel as well) and start throwing out OEM Style numbers for you to consider.
    Present: '01 e46 m3, '07 e70 X5 3.0si
    Past: '95 e34 - m52 swapped, e38 740i

    I knew this thread was going to suck before I even clicked on it. I just had a feeling. OP, please don't.

    I say none, personal opinion though. If I had to choose one, I'd have to say the first one, just because at least it would have a sick lip.

    Not to join the bandwagon, but all of those wheels are terrible, in my opinion.

    THIS^ and sorry if we all sound a bit douchey....its part of the forums but no harm intended

    even the rims from tirerack.com will have a better selection. and you get an idea of what they look like on the car

    now i know "to each their own" and "if you like it...okay" but those are just hideous. sorry.

    the first one out of the 3 looks better because of the lip, but personally i look at those and think of all of the people that put those stupid Buick fender vents and chromie valve stems on their cars because it "looks cool".

    Don't do it!

    dont make the same mistake I did a go buy some cheap rims just because you want to look cool. I did just that shortly after I got my first car and couldn't have regreted it more. The fact of the matter is this. You can spend the (and I'm guessing here) the 500 to 700 those rims cost and think you have nice wheels, until you pull up next to someone who really has nice wheels. Not to mention most of those cast rims are prone to bending, chipping, cracking etc...OR you could save that money and get some nice wheels instead of regretting your decision down the road...just my .02cents...but to each his own also

    all of those wheels dont suit my taste but if you like them pick whatever fits your budget and fits your taste. If i had to pick I'd pick the lightest wheel first. That would make it the second one. If i had to pick based on brand only. I'd go OZ>rials>AVR. so that makes it the second wheel. But that one is the uglist
