i like the 740 wheels better. the others have too wide of gaps between the spokes, which are narrow themselves.

Those 313’s are nice but I feel like you would need some nice brakes to compliment them.

I used to have a back up set of 189’s also, I like them too:

I just picked up some OEM parallels from hurr. They’re nice but pretty heavy.

Thx. I totally understand, I had the 189s and it was still “too stock” and moved to the SF’s for a kinda OEM/Aftermarket look without being too aftermarket looking if that makes any sense lol.

What about some M6 reps:

 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/sickg35/DSC08006.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/e/6e10eca6034e514c6c50d6df5bde262f3cc91ee6.jpeg)

Or possibly some M3 Competition wheels? I think they make reps with E90 fitment.

I think M6 reps are overused.

I’m waiting until you post what Volks you’d put on it 🙂

M6 reps are okay, similar to the 313’s but between the 2 I’d take the 313’s

Unfortunately, TE’s and CE’s just don’t look good on an E9x IMO ☹ … so I dunno which volks i’d run haha.

BBS LM are ok, but like the CE’s just don’t look too good to me on a sedan anyway. Maybe a coupe

You could keep the stockers for now and get wheel studs and spacers (rear) for the time being, which gives you more time to consider the volks, Forgelines, Work…

I think the picture of the M par’s you posted looks better than the 313

i had spacers and made a pretty big difference in looks for the 162’s

personally id go with 18’s if i were you, i had both and preferred the 18’s in ride quality/price/ weight
