    ACS type III's or Hamann HM2's?

    I need to make a very quick decision, give me some help. I have always leaned towards the type III's personally, but also am in love with the HM2's. It is really a toss up for me and i can't decide. These will be authentic, no knockoff's, so let me know which i should get for my car. I can't decide and need to make a decision VERY soon. (within a day or so).

    I debated buying both and switching them out every few months, but that is a waste of money.

    Please post which you would prefer on MY car. This is what makes it hard to decide, not just which wheel is best, but best for MY car.


    Thanks guy's!

    I used to own a set of HMIIs and it seemed that everyone also had those rims at the same time too.

    I agree, but I've only seen ACS type 3's on an E34.. I didn't think it looked like anything special on that car. Hamanns are pretty clean looking rims, but I guess you shouldn't get them if you're wanting to be unique.

    for an E34, type II looks much better than type III.

    I had a set of ACS here but they came broken a la rip off on ebay. I have a set of PG2's on the way. The returned wheels were never picked up by the seller and are once again here. Only problem is, I sold the good one and sent the crap ones back. Now all I have is one decent and 2 crappy ones.

    It already seems obvious but I'll still put my 2 cents in. Honestly your car would look great with either wheel (and you have good taste by the way) but I would have to vote for ACS Type IIIs (not two-piece) for your car. 19s would look amazing on that car if you could pull it off but 18s would be sweet too.

    Here's my delimma......... I rub my 17's right now on hard bumps or tight turns. 18's will be one HELL of a stretch, 19's are out of the question.
