Are these wheels worth it ? ( 500 euro shipping )

Bours · 11-30-2014, 06:02 PM

Hey guys ! I currently own a e90 2011 335 x-drive black sapphire sedan. These wheels ( z- performance wheels ) are from europe and im from canada. So they is a 500 euros shipping fee for a home delivery. plus the wheels ( 1200 euros for 4 wheels )

So here is a video of the wheels i wanna order. i want the polished face ones. Id like to get your advice and if you think they would look good on a e90 sedan. or i should stick with my 193 m sport wheels ?

i would take silver or gunmetal depending on the color of your car. silver polished face with black detailing looks to ghetto to me, its too flashy in person. Full polish looks much better

dhanni848 · 12-01-2014, 04:53 PM

rears look good but the fronts have no concave at all.

sirdaft1 · 12-01-2014, 06:22 PM

I'd say pass. The only thing I like is how concave the wheels are, but the polished face and black inner spokes make the E90 look cheap in my opinion.

no i didnt but i will ! thx for the info but im trying to find wheels that are not so common you know ! i have the 193m sport for now but i want something more rare !

J-Spec Dan · 12-01-2014, 07:11 PM

you could get something that is popular and customize it. for isntance, here's my buddy's BSM E90 330i with LCI M-SPort front conversion and Alufelgen SF-71. I thought about getting similar wheels but painting them gloss black and adding a white time attack stripe. I photoshopped a set of black Apex ARC-8 with white time attack stripe and Apex seemed to like the idea when I tagged them on instagram.

There's a reason why people go the mainstream route - because it looks good.

I like your wheels btw, just some spacers in the rear to lower the offset would be much better.

500 euro shipping? wtf thats like $675 just to ship...pass

Craig@SupremePower · 12-09-2014, 07:15 AM

NO

wdeerfield · 12-09-2014, 07:54 AM

much better options across the pond in the US for less money. polished face with black windows always looks like those cheesy tire rack wheels.

amanuuh · 12-09-2014, 08:07 AM

nope. looks like shit.

shadow191 · 12-09-2014, 08:25 AM

They do look identical. Most cast wheels are made in China/Taiwan (Taiwan in this case) and then companies just rebrand them with new center caps. They are also very similar to a Rohanna wheel (RC10) and that's way cheaper than 1700 Euros.

And if you ever look into 3 piece wheels, you'll see they're all literally based in Miami (other than HRE). They all make identical looking wheels and take similar pictures. The hardest part about owning a forged wheel company appears to be coming up with a new name with the word forged in it.

1700 Euro is $2427 Canadian; you have soooo many options in that price range here in North America let alone buying from Japan auctions or Euro forums!
