i quite like breyton design though, just wondering if they have suitable 18" as i always see 19"s around

Are the 193 M rims forged? If no then not worth the $4k ++. Might as well get aftermarket forge rims which are lighter. 2nd hand rims are good too if you do not mind some kerb rash. Initially I wanted to buy new rims but found a good deal for a 2nd hand DPE rims. The money I saved could be used on other mods.

Hmm can't seem to find any info if the rims are forged.
VMR looks decent... Velocity Motoring -- Wheels

Re: E90 18" Staggered Setup Choices?
Are you looking at originals or open to replicas? There are many good built replicas at good prices (I didn't say cheap) available. I am using a set of lightweight Breyton Race LS 18" staggered reps. Original Race LS only comes in 20" staggered.
Front 235/40/R18 (ET 35/ 8.5") and rear 265/35/R18 (ET 38/ 9.5"). Look at my avatar.
Tyres need not be 3-400+ type. I am using GT Radial (recommended by LS) for the first time and personally they are not too bad. Only 180 per pc. Really depends what your criteria are.

Hi bro,
For good rubbers with low noise, you can consider Continental - CSC5.
Amazing performance tyres without the usual 'noise' that is usually observed in most peformance rubbers.
But they come at a premium ($$) though...

mohankls, yeap for rubbers I am considering either Goodyear Eagle F1 (good price/performance ratio), CSC5 (good performance reviews like you mentioned) or Bridgestone S001 (also good performance reviews)
decent 18" staggered rims seems quite hard to find though!

Bro detach8,
If you looking for originl BMW rims, my advice is to browse the bazaar section in this forum. you will prob find really good deals from fellow bros here..
Cos if you buy direct from PML or other authorised`shops, they will cost alot more than some equally good quality rims avail. But stock rims are kinda heavy...unless you wanna stick with run flats (then its best you get original rims)
About 1 month ago, I saw used style 189 rims st SouthEast Tyre dhop in kski bukit. These come staggered & you csn pick your preferred brand new rubbers. Another shop I came across with used original BMW rims was Yap brothers.
Best of luck in your search...(acually, the fun is in the search as much as the drive after fitting em "))

Thanks bros! I will go scout around slowly after collecting car. Wife actually nagged at me for spending $ and tell me to use the tyres first until really botak, kerbed, then go and trade in and find a nicer rims. I got quite a frugal wife Such is life!!!

detach8,
I used to have a 3 series that came with 17" type 159 rims, changed to 18" type M193 when collecting the car. Later changed again to 19" DPE S20. Few months later I sold the S20 and bought the type 189 from the forum here and sold the car.
You would have plenty of opportunity to buy the 18" staggered rims from this forum. some are almost new and you pay only half the price.

oem style 189 & 193M with 225/255 =
but offset is too conservative. if don't mind, use spacer to flush it
else, get aftermarket wheel 8.5J +32 and 9.5J +35 staggered with 235/40/18 & 265/35/18 tyres = perfect ! this is 18" advan rs setup for e90 ... hehe
