E90 Style 225m or Style 313 BMW performance
Obviously there's a set of oem style 313 performance wheels that's after coming up for sale that I'm tempted by.
The e90 currently sits on style 225m wheels (mv4) which I like but I like the 313's too:rolleyes:
Only downside to the 313's is their designed to "show off" the BMW performance brakes that would be fitted to their "performance" styled range. The 320 doesn't have such luxurys:blush:
Toughts?

225m for me the other needs massive calipers + discs to pull it off

I know they look out of place with small brakes behind them

Not loving the 303 to be honest.
225 is a classic timeless wheel IMO.

From what I recall reading on e90post I think the 313's are also a bit of a mare to refurb as they are diamond cut or at least require a really top class professional outfit to get it done e.g. Lepsons. There was also talk of corrosion/oxidation appearing after a couple of years on them but I would hope proper care and wheel protection would minimise this.
I also considered 313's but am sticking with my 225's until I have to get something else.

I think the 313's would look the business on the saloon especially with the 335i brakes. Go for it!

Another vote for 225 here too God. They are a fantastic looking wheel and work well on E9x. How much bigger are the brakes? That's the only thing swaying my vote from the 313's

225 wheel by a mile for me.
-
RE: E90 Style 225m or Style 313 BMW performance
I vote for 225 way better.

RE: E90 Style 225m or Style 313 BMW performance
I vote for 225, less in your face (313 if not maintained properly could look tack and look like reps very quickly
-
RE: E90 Style 225m or Style 313 BMW performance
The 225 had issues with cracking and leaking.
We've had one wheel replaced already by BMW and looks like we could have another issue. Watchdog UK done a piece on them such was the frequency of the issue. Not sure if new ones are any better but worth researching
They look good though, I think the other wheels would make your brakes look a bit lost behing them. Do not even attempt to put those fake brembo calliper in your car, never mind on it :D

I think on a facelift E92 335i the 313's are perfect, but the E90 the
the 225's are the better option.
What about all the stories of cracked rims though?

Is that not just on run-flats though?

Cracking rims are not just limited to 225Ms, I had one of my rear 19's on the six crack. I know Davy had the same issue. There were runflats on it at the time, runflats are gone so I'm hoping that was the root cause.
