Wow! Tough room! They hardly "ruin" the car visually. Do they weigh a lot more than the factory wheels? If so, that could ruin the car.

Damn, seems like everyone is being a tad hard on the guy. I like the upgrade and the LM reps. Of course regular BBS or HRE's are a ton of money and really nice, but some people would may choose a rep wheel. Maybe in the future I will upgrade to something else, but here is my contribution to the LM reps I been rocking. And I do have to say, for all the shitty pot holes and bad terrain, they have held up remarkably well compared to some other previous rims I had, that were 5x the price of reps, and I would always be bending them over pot holes..Just my 2 cents

Both cars look great IMHO. I love that front splitter too. Congrats to both of you on some fine looking rides.

Must be a lot of older folks on these f30 boards...
LM's (rep or real) are a very popular choice among the e90 crowd (myself included obviously).

Looks good OP, just needs a larger drop asap.

100% agree and actually if you're lucky enough to really like something and be in the minority then you've individuality / exclusivity on your side.

For the record i'm undecided ;-) Sorry to be a fence sitter!

I love the wheels, but for some reason they don't look right on an F30 IMO. Not sure why.

Non-wheel question: Is your car 328 or 335? The reason I ask is that the rear drop looks much more "severe" than the front.

there's a lot of uglier f30s on this forum, to which people say things like "awesome ride, sick...the way it should be done"... so, do your thing and don't worry bout it.

that being said, imho i dont think it's horrible, but something is missing. maybe the offset isn't aggressive enough or the sidewall is too much on the tires. but something is off.

I agree...Living in Arizona though you dont really have to worry about bad roads, correct? Why go with a Front 245,40,19 Back 275,35,19? I think that is whats throwing it off. With a Front 245,35,19 Back 275,30,19 and some red center caps these wheels would pop and compliment the car. Either way car looks great!
