Silver F10 M5 wheels on MG 328i - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

cardnation · 09-22-2012, 07:30 AM

The Setup:
F10 M5 reps (silver machine face) wrapped in Hankook V12s
19x8.5 ET35 - 245/35/19
19x9.5 ET38- 255/35/19

H&R Sports (installation TBD)

1) These wheels are gorgeous, pictures do them no justice.
2) I think this tire setup is PERFECT, no rubbing, comfortable and properly sized.

The Pictures: (Full Album Here)

Rears are meaty

Front 235 profile

Rear 255 profile, very slight (1mm?) lip visible.

Dazzling

They look so small, more like 18" wheels. I guess with the bigger car now and the higher tires it kills the look some.

But the wheel model is nice. Thinking about getting them for the winters.

I think the F30 model just isn't as photogenic as models past. The only way I can describe it is that its a weird effect from the pictures. I think the need for some drop magnifies this effect.

It looks so much different in person, its really hard to describe.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have the 19" M-sport wheels and they also look kind of small on pictures but better in real life. But still, the F30 is a big car and 19's look like 18's did on the E9x in my opinion.

I like

Jamesons Viggen · 09-22-2012, 11:50 AM

Am I the only one who sees the machining imperfections on the boring of the smaller holes on each side of the lug holes?

Jackson743 · 09-22-2012, 12:13 PM

Very nice. Can you tell us more information? A link giving us more info?

cardnation · 09-22-2012, 12:18 PM

More and Better pictures added.

Sure. What do you want to know?

Jackson743 · 09-22-2012, 12:27 PM

I'll be putting my order in for a 335i soon and will buy a set of M5 replicas.

I've got to make a decision in the near future. I'd like to know the manufacturer (or a link to the reseller).

Your close-ups look nice. I think photos, unless they are close up, don't do that polished finish justice. The two tone looks better in photos. Specifically, the ones with the black or dark gunmetal barrels. But, I'm not leaning that way.

My preference is to have contrast and the gunmetal version on MG doesn't do it for me. I think they would look killer on white though.

I was also thinking to use these wheels for winter, not sure yet.

Thrillbilly · 09-22-2012, 02:05 PM

Nice! Will look even better with the H&Rs. I think those V12s are a great tire for the price...remind me of the nitto 555s which I also like.

webdither · 09-22-2012, 04:13 PM

Those look amazing! I have decided that is what I'll be getting after I need new tires for my MG 335 M Sport

ocso1606 · 09-22-2012, 04:31 PM

I really like those wheels, looks great

Thanks, I'm in the greater LA area. **********s will probably be installing my new wheels. I was just wondering if there was another manufacturer of M5 reps with a 19x9.5" rears.

TSiSPY007 · 09-22-2012, 07:50 PM

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see pics of the drop.

Photoman · 09-22-2012, 08:00 PM

Awesome shots cardnation! Car and the wheels look fantastic.

i went for the gunmetal / polished for my set.

avant garde is the only other manufacturer that I know of, but they have 10x19 or 10x20 rears.

Maz335i · 09-22-2012, 08:06 PM

Awesome pics bud!

The wheels look really good on your MG F30!

I ordered a set for my winter use but I went with the Black coloured ones in 18". I'm now thinking whether I should get them in Gunmetal instead or stay with Black?

I'm not interested in Silver as my Stance Wheels are already in similar colour and I wanted something different for winter....

I'm considering those. But, I'm not sure they will fit.
