Looking for new rims for the summer time!!!

I need recommendations on rims to look at in the roughly 300 bucks per rim range, and where is best to purcahse them. I want to keep to the smae size wheels as I have on my 300i With the Sport package, so anything in 18 inches goes. I think i woudl also prefer to get a setup that is staggered like the setup is now in its stock form, but maybe pushing the rims out to the edge of the fender a bit better on the back.

Suggestions?

That's a good price range to be in, we have a couple of options that would work for your car. I know you said you want to stick with 18s but I'd really encourage you to step up to 19s. 18s IMO are far too small for the E90-E93 and it's really not worth it to change the wheels if you are sticking with the same size. I will give you a few options (CSLs, M6s and M5s are available in 18" and 19").

E92 M3 Style Wheels-$1199


EX-M1 LM Style Wheels
- Available in silver, black or gold with a silver reverse lip in 19x8.5 and 19x10.5

EX-M3 LM Style Wheels
-Available in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 in silver/silver step lip



CSL Style Wheels



VMR V715 Wheels


M5 Style Wheels


M6 Style Wheels



All of our wheels are available with tires as a complete package. Feel free to contact me directly for full pricing info

thanks man!!! I was thinking of sort of leaning away from OEM looking wheels. Also, I wanted to stick with 18s to keep some actual rubber between me and the road. My 18s get blisters rather frequently as it is, and I feel that 19s will only be worse. Can you do packages with run flats? Also, do you do dealings with Breyton wheels at all? The Vision IIs sort of caught my attention, heh.

As much as I dont want to go with OEM replicas, the CSL wheels are pretty nice!

Thanks man!

I LOVE the M6 style wheels, but have yet to find runflats for them in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tires
Any ideas?

I would honestly drop the run flats and pick up a fix a flat kit from BMW. Run flats run much stiffer, are more expensive and don't offer as great of performance options as a standard tire.

Ahhh.... thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of that. I just remember the nightmares I had when I switched to softer tires on my corvette. I swear I had a flat every week....
Thanks again

Listen to Nick, he knows what he is talking about and can deliver what you want at a great price without issue. ( Nick, you can send me the money you promised to pay me for this endorsement through paypal). JUST kidding! But I did get my wheel and tire package through Nick @ Jlevi and was Completely satisfied with ALL aspects of the purchase. Now. if they could only get the E 92 M3 rear spoiler that I ordered shipped out......... Still waiting impatiently! BTW, go with 19" wheels. You won't be sorry
